In many migratory movements we see people having artefacts and handicrafts with them wherever they go, because it creates a sense of belonging and comfort. In Ma Chère, the craft talked about is crocheted lace and embroidery combined. This craftsmanship as a form of expression and transmission, symbolising patience and waiting. Ma Chère, is a two-voice retranscription of a migratory journey from Portugal to Switzerland, using letters and these textile supports as correspondences. On the one hand, moving to a new country, the building of a life and the expansion of a community in Valais. And on the other hand, the evolution of a country that has become a postcard.
