This embroidery takes a series of tree of life embroideries by the Chilean artist Violeta Parra as it's archetype. Parra was a poet, painter, sculptor, performer and musician as well as embroiderer. Her work transformed embroidery from a decorative art into to a political art and it holds an iconic place in Latin American cultural history. This embroidery by Memorarte includes motifs from the Violeta Parra Tree of Life series (the tree, the bird and the supine head) but presents them in a unique piece that is both inspired by, and a tribute to, the work of Violeta Parra. The embroidery was created in 2017 to commemorate the centenary of Violeta Parra's birth.

Violeta Parra es la madre del bordado de arpilleras. Artista múltiple, poetiza, pintora, música, fue la primera mujer en migrar del bordado decorativo al bordado político. Ella bordaba sobre una tela rústica en la que en ese tiempo se guardaban las papas. Con el tiempo la tela usada cambió, pero se mantuvo el nombre para denominar a las piezas bordadas con fines políticos.

Arpillera confeccionada como homenaje a la artista Violeta Parra en la conmemoración de los 100 años de su natalicio.
