Ana María Roa Bocarejo is a psychologist, anthropologist and embroiderer. Throughout her career she has accompanied psychosocial processes of people who are victims of the Colombian armed conflict, using tools of artistic expression as a means to process pain symbolically.
Embroidery has been a loving life learning process, which has become her practical refuge for several years. Currently, she is dedicated to exploring the textile world, creating learning spaces in which vulnerability can be accommodated from compassionate and mobilizing places. She has a particular interest in taking embroidery beyond the aesthetic, and mixing it with different formats.

During her residency, she will carry out textile mapping that will seek to capture the multiplicity of experiences of people who are dedicated to care work in Mompox. To do this, she will carry out workshops with a therapeutic approach with caregivers, encouraging dialogue and reflection on her profession through textiles. The spaces are designed to encourage artistic curiosity from enjoyment and collective containment.
