This Children for Recycling Burlap piece is a vibrant example of Chilean arpilleras—textile art that transforms scraps of fabric into scenes of everyday life and social reflection. Each element is handcrafted with creativity and skill, depicting children engaged in recycling within a colorful rural landscape.
Every Arpillerista work carries a story, expressing messages and social commentary from the unique perspective of its creator. For more than 45 years, these artisans have kept alive a tradition born during times of dictatorship, turning sewing into a form of resilience and popular expression.
