Back in 2012, I contributed to a collaborative, stitched art project call
In a War Someone Has to Die, created by Danish artist Hanne Bang.

The project collected handkerchiefs from around the world, all embroidered with the line uttered in a matter-of-fact manner by a soldier-for-hire from Africa, "In a war, someone has to die." (Read more about it
here.)

The collection has been exhibited several times, most recently as part of the
miniTex14 exhibition at the
Rundetaarn in Copenhagen.
I was excited to find my pink, scalloped handkerchief on the wall, embroidered with my mother's beautiful handwriting, in Spanish, her first language.

I want to go to Denmark to see the whole exhibition! In the meantime, here is a
video about it, with lots of wonderful images.
