Despite the importance of reconciliation in Colombia as a process that is actively practised by citizens in their everyday lives, most research so far has deployed an institutional, top-down approach to this process. The need for a bottom-up understanding of reconciliation in the post-agreement phase can help establish practices of reconciliation as long lasting and collective acts of communication, of doing and learning, which allow communities to negotiate the violent past, and situate themselves in the transitional present and a hopeful future.The proposed project will develop a framework for reconciliation with communities which have been crafting textiles and have been severely affected by the armed conflict. Textile crafting in Colombia is a widespread activity that incorporates traditional techniques of knitting and sewing and is organised primarily by groups of women within rural areas. Rather than just documenting memories of war, textile crafting generates spaces of common reflection and has a healing, restorative and constructive potential that negotiates memory and reconciliation. It is specifically this novel dimension of textile crafting that this project will illuminate. In 2015 the group Mujeres Tejiendo Sueños y Sabores de Paz from Mampuján won the National Peace Prize and has one of their memory tapestries displayed in the National Museum of Colombia. Many textile crafting groups--including all groups that will participate in this project--are members of the national "Network of Knitters for Memory and Life" launched in 2016.Research on textile crafting offers the unique and exceptional opportunity to investigate reconciliation in a context that brings together everyday practice, the realities of the conflict, the possibility of healing and the rebuilding of the social fabric towards a post-conflict society. However, textile crafting is often considered as a representational activity producing "visual metaphors of collective memory". Rather than conceiving textile pieces as products, the proposed project will implement an original approach, seeing textile crafting as a making process which is collectively realised within the context of war. The project will deploy a ground-breaking methodological design in order to elucidate reconciliation through the practice of textile crafting that (1) includes an intensive ten-month-long ethnographic study of the processes of crafting (2) a series of public participation events for disseminating the findings and promoting reconciliation and post-conflict (3) the development of a set of original technologies that add digital components to the handcrafted textiles with the ability to digitally record and reproduce reconciliation stories. Specifically, the project will design a compositional material-digital object, a testimonial digital textile, as a novel method for conducting research in the context of conflict and reconciliation that can open fresh avenues for research practice within the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The final outcomes of the project will be: -a framework for reconciliation narratives and practices that are achieved through community building and community crafting-a unique documentation of textile crafting as a practice of memory and reconciliation -the design of a novel technological object, a testimonial digital textile, that records stories and experiences of the armed conflict -the implementation of an innovative methodological research design for investigating textile crafting-the creation of spaces that foster trans-local dialogues and exchange between different communities in Colombia, and between Colombia and the UK -the design of an open publicly accessible digital archive of testimonial textiles that capture oral histories of the war and of reconciliation-a series of academic conferences, publications and publicly accessible reports-a major public exhibition and presentation of the project's results

尽管哥伦比亚的和解作为公民在日常生活中积极实践的一个进程很重要，但迄今为止的大多数研究都对这一进程采取了一种体制性的、自上而下的办法。需要在协议后阶段对和解有一个自下而上的理解，这有助于将和解做法确立为持久的集体沟通、实践和学习行为，使社区能够就暴力的过去进行谈判，并在过渡时期的现在和充满希望的未来中重新振作起来。拟议的项目将制定一个框架，与那些一直在制作纺织品并受到武装冲突的严重影响。在哥伦比亚，纺织品手工艺是一种广泛的活动，它结合了传统的编织和缝纫技术，主要由农村地区的妇女团体组织。纺织品工艺不仅仅是记录战争的记忆，它还创造了共同反思的空间，并具有愈合、恢复和建设性的潜力，可以促进记忆与和解。正是这个纺织工艺的新维度，这个项目将照亮。2015年，来自曼普汉的Mujeres Tejiendo Sueños y Sabores de Paz团体获得了国家和平奖，并在哥伦比亚国家博物馆展出了他们的记忆挂毯。许多纺织手工艺团体-包括将参与该项目的所有团体-都是2016年启动的全国“记忆和生活编织者网络”的成员。纺织手工艺研究提供了独特和特殊的机会，可以在将日常实践，冲突的现实，治愈和重建社会结构以建立冲突后社会的可能性。然而，纺织工艺通常被认为是一种产生“集体记忆的视觉隐喻”的表征性活动。该项目不是将纺织品视为产品，而是将实施一种原创的方法，将纺织品工艺视为在战争背景下集体实现的制造过程。该项目将采用一种突破性的方法设计，通过纺织品手工制作实践阐明和解，其中（1）包括对手工制作过程进行为期10个月的密集人种学研究（2）一系列公众参与活动，以传播研究结果并促进和解和冲突后（3）开发一套原创技术，为手工纺织品添加数字组件，能够数字记录和复制和解故事。具体来说，该项目将设计一个合成材料数字对象，一个证明数字纺织品，作为一种新的方法进行研究的冲突与和解的背景下，可以打开新的途径，在艺术，人文和社会科学的研究实践。该项目的最终成果将是：- 通过社区建设和社区手工艺实现和解叙事和实践的框架-纺织品手工艺作为记忆与和解实践的独特文献-设计新颖的技术对象，证明数字纺织品，记录了武装冲突的故事和经历-实施了一项创新的方法论研究设计，用于调查纺织工艺-创造空间，促进哥伦比亚不同社区之间以及哥伦比亚和英国之间的跨地方对话和交流-设计一个开放的可公开访问的数字档案馆，记录战争和和解的口述历史-一系列学术会议，出版物和公众可查阅的报告-一个主要的公众展览和项目成果介绍
