What's Fuxico?

The word fuxico can be understood as sewing slightly large stitches as well as making intrigues and gossip. In Brazil its origin comes from the northeastern popular culture where women gathered to splice pieces of fabrics and took the opportunity to talk; hence the double meaning of the word fuxico. Cutting the fabric into a circle and furrowing it was a dierent way of composing varied colors and prints forming units, which linked to each other were drawing new meanings in the larger whole. This material is not new, it is part of popular culture, as well as legends, myths and fairy tales.

The groups and bonds date back to the time of primitive peoples since man never lived alone, he was always in contact with something and/or someone. Just as the tissues undergo transformations, groups and bonds change and are modified, forming a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
