During Aurora Pellizzi's residency, natural dyes, textiles, and seeds were explored as artistic mediums to open a space for dialogue and reflection with the community's caregivers. Inspired by the mantle of the Virgin of Guadalupe as a symbol of protection and care, the residency revolved around profound questions: what does it mean to be a mother in a symbolic, spiritual, and tender sense? How do self-care rituals manifest in relationships with others? How can we recognize and comfort our most vulnerable selves?

The sessions combined artistic processes with introspective dynamics and collective conversation, allowing participants to connect with their emotions and recognize new forms of empathy and mutual care. Natural dyes and textiles became vehicles for exploring tenderness, vulnerability, and shared strength, fostering a safe environment for self-expression and community growth.

The project had a significant impact on strengthening emotional expression, creativity, and collaboration among the caregivers. At the same time, the bond between the artist and the community deepened thanks to a shared interest in the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe as a symbol of comfort and support, generating an artistic and emotional experience that transcended the workshop space to solidify as an exercise in mutual trust and commitment.
