When discussing large industries, some might imagine many people working in expansive production spaces. However, in the Colombian textile sector, there are small workshops known as “satellite” sewing centers. These places challenge the traditional notion of industry, where hundreds of people, mostly women, incorporate an industrial space into their homes, blending it with their domestic environment and making it a part of their daily lives. Six women, six machines, six homes. The protagonists of the stories I explore in this project are sewing machine operators who work as satellite seamstresses. They come from different backgrounds, ages, and motivations; some have taken up this trade out of passion, others out of necessity, or simply because it is the path they know and trust. Despite the significant challenges of this labor, it has allowed them to dignify and empower their lives. From their homes, they have cared for their families and themselves, while also teaching their craft to other women, weaving a collective journey. The visual result of this photographic project is the fruit of constant visits and conversations with the protagonists of these stories. This process allowed me to understand their life projects and the relationship they maintain with their work. From this experience, I have conceived a series of wide shots aimed at opening a window into their intimate environments, highlighting each woman at the center of the compositions, using artificial lighting to contrast her presence with the elements of home and work that surrounds her. This project began with a critical view of the textile industry, and without losing sight of the significant issues of informality, it encountered the stories of women who, through their perspective, represent what empowerment truly means—resilient women who, through a machine and their hands, work toward a dignified life.
