The School of Applied Textile Arts

a space to create collectively, share memories, and learn together through textile art. Throughout the process, we’ll explore techniques like embroidery, burlap, and loom weaving, connecting them with our personal stories and experiences. The invitation is to slow down, exchange knowledge, and build a shared piece: a textile cartography of the New-West neighborhood. This collective work, shaped by everyone’s contributions, will be permanently installed at Lola Lieven. A meeting point between textiles, community, and territory.

Warmi Küyen is a feminist collective of Latin American women artists and cultural managers, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, since 2022. It arises from our need to integrate, to express our feelings and our vision through textile arts, promoting and spreading Andean textile culture and ancestral crafts, through the generation of textile workshops and meetings. We also organise feminist projects that promote human rights, the eradication of violence and substantive equality of human beings, focusing on women, girls and non-binary people. Our language is expressed through threads and scraps, which inspire us to create and share with others interested in learning or sharing about Latin American textile art and handicraft.
