A long story that never ends: from weaving to text and vice-versa is a research that deals with the experience of sewing and telling stories. The narrative essay style of the text intends to intertwine woven fabric theme stories and learning experiences involving sewing, in the contexture of a reflexive and descriptive text. The research is based on an experience of contact with children, in the search for narratives that link textile and text. It brings about the reflection developed during an artistic residency financed by Funarte, which enabled a vast experience involving fabric as a welcoming and mutual recognition element for a group of arts teachers and their students. Once in the context of the Masters studies, thinkers such as Walter Benjamin and Paul Ricoeur began to stitch these work experiences with structural points, enabling a reflection on the actions of storytelling and weaving, around the central theme of traditional activities in contemporaneity; regarding collectiveness and recognition, present in both activities, and also the room for creation and enchantment aroused both by wonderful tales and by the beauty of fabric, threads and colors.
