Puntadas del Alma (Stitches of the Soul) is a collective of women who come together to share stories and create quilts. Through sewing, embroidery, beading, and storytelling—traditionally seen as “craft”—Puntadas del Alma challenges the conventional boundaries by redefining their intricate, generationally rooted work as fiber art. In their practice, the lines between craft and art blur, and their creations become powerful expressions of memory, resilience, and shared humanity.
