Each student chose a personal place and a textile memory connected to it. This memory provokes new thoughts and new artistic creation, that they want to rescue from the past – filtering it through the present, making a mark in the future. Understanding the place through its temporal dimension, thinking and rethinking the definitions based on the relations that are established between geographic and identity space, artistic and aesthetic, of memory and imagination, thus insisting in the idea of place as inhabited space. Through reflective practices about the place and textile, experiencing personal stories, it may be possible to give way to new discourses. Appropriating the memory, inhabiting the uninhabited, common or individual, the inane becoming alive as a new textile perspective.
