The project explores the crafts made by political prisoners in prison during the dictatorship. Many correctional institutions subjected these prisoners to a regime of solitary confinement and inactivity as a method of physical and psychological destruction, and as a result a kind of resistance was organized within a short time. The prisoners began to make arts and crafts items with salvaged tools such as bone taken from soup, nails, threads obtained by threading towels or pieces of bed sheets. Through interviews with former prisoners, the artist created videos, in tutorial format, that narrate and explain the different techniques used. The narratives interweave artistic techniques with memories and events of the past.
