GASPARIN, Larissa Souza; KIERNIEW, Janniny Gautério  and  MOSCHEN, Simone. Stretching time and basting care: the invented embroidery and the word technology. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.2, pp.57-75.  Epub Oct 25, 2024. ISSN 2238-152X.  https://doi.org/10.22456/2238-152x.126745.

The research-intervention project Fictional narratives and chronic pain care acted in the Sector of Pain and Palliative Care of a public hospital, offering an adjunct to health care. The Garden of Stories Atelier was one of its devices, which proposed the invented embroidery as threads of support for a shared work. In Latin America, embroidery refers to transgenerational transmission, and to political practices and processes of struggle and mourning in the social bond. This article aims to retrieve the history of embroidery beyond the colonial perspective and, from there, to approach this experience of research-intervention in the hospital and its possibilities. The invented embroidery is thought to emphasize the dimension of improvisation and creativity of this practice, as an affective support for the weaving of narratives, from the willingness to be together around an activity without prescriptions.

Keywords : Narrative; Palliative Care; Memory; Embroidery; Mourning.
