S02 E29 Let's never lower our Arms for our Dreams

Nicole Newman , is the creator of Pėcora Craft , a brand that makes Afro-Latina women visible through embroidered illustrations, highlighting expressions, textures and empowerment of black women.

Nicole is the daughter of an Afro-Chilean mother and an American father, who grew up in Concepción, a city in the South of Chile, always surrounded by nature, the sea and adventures.

She comes from a family of artists: her grandfather was a furniture maker, her grandmother makes fabric bags and sells them in her store that she has had for more than 50 years, and her uncle and cousins are metal sculptors, so she had no choice but to follow happily into their footsteps.

In this episode we speak about embroidery as a means of feminist expression, about Afro-Latin culture, being a black lesbian woman in Chile, art, Brunna Mancuso and much more.

Host: Stella Saliari

At Salt The Podcast my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms. It is a commitment.
