In March 2021, Brazil reached the number of 300 thousand deaths caused by covid-19 and its complications. Thus, the Linhas do Rio collective had the idea of inviting other collectives of political embroiderers from different places to embroider in honor of these victims. First, an embroidered flag was made containing the names of 286 of these victims, but as more embroiderers joined the cause, they carried out more and more embroideries, in addition to the fact that the number of victims continued to grow.
The idea was to take the embroidery to public places, to give visibility and honor the memory of each of these dead. Among the collectives involved were: Linhas do Rio (Rio de Janeiro), Linhas do Horizonte (Belo Horizonte), Linhas de Sampa (São Paulo), Linhas do Mar (Caraguatatuba), Linhas de Santos (Santos), Bordaluta (Brasília), Points of Fight (Belo Horizonte) and Women of the Resistance Abroad (New York).
