El collar de la Moiras: taller creativo como herramienta participativa para fortalecer la resiliencia en mujeres

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. Currently, Ecuador faces high rates of gender-based violence, affecting numerous women daily. Within this social context, many of these women lack the capacity or the necessary confidence to express their emotions and experiences due to a shortage of safe spaces, often fearing judgment when seeking help. The purpose of this project is to develop a creative and participatory workshop where participants feel empowered to express repressed emotions through a creative process. This approach fosters dialogue, emotional openness, and the strengthening of resilience, maintaining a sensitive and respectful perspective. In response to this need, the Moirai are integrated into the project as a symbolic resource and central axis. The workshop dynamics are developed around these mythological figures to promote resilience as a process of constant transformation. Within this framework, a toolkit was designed, featuring activities that encourage the expression of life experiences through a non-intrusive and accessible approach. Ultimately, this project succeeds in promoting dialogue, emotional openness, and the reinforcement of resilience within a safe space, allowing participants to recognize, express, and resignify their emotions and personal experiences. Keywords: Artistic mediation, social design, gender violence.
