The Forest of Hope created by Colectiva Zurciendo el Planeta in Mexico is an installation consisting of a tapestry of hundreds of embroidered trees sewn by the collective’s members. The message of the embroidered forest is that, like a forest, we all are part of a community and like trees, are connected to each other. It is a call for decisions on climate to be made for the greater good. The forest was first installed at COP26 in Glasgow. The microgrant enabled the installation to travel to Argentina where it was shown in multiple locations, including museums, rural and indigenous schools and communities in Patagonia. The events always include workshops and community discussions on environmental issues.
