Memories of embroiderers

Abstract

The text is made up of three interviews, which narrate how the knowledge of hand embroidery is transmitted, from generation to generation, based on the testimonies of Yolanda Llontop, Segundina Carranza and Elena Valera, embroiderers from communities originating in Peru. Likewise, they explain other topics related to the transmission of embroidery, such as the meaning of iconography, myths and legends related to this practice, among other experiences.
