JaneTTE
Terrazas
(Mexico, 1985)
Jane is a visionary textile artist hailing from the Ciudad Juarez, Mexico border. Through her artistry, Jane weaves a powerful tapestry of change, challenging narratives surrounding climate change, racial tensions, gender inequality, and political crises, transforming threads into catalysts for conversation and unraveling the complexities of our world through a narrative of resilience and hope. In the vibrant borderland spirit, her textiles become a medium for social change, inviting viewers to engage with pressing global issues through the lens of creativity and compassion.
“ For the past 10 years I have dedicated my work in textile art to reflect on the textile object as a social metaphor with a cross-border gender perspective”.

MORE
Ni En More is a nonprofit organization dedicated to social impact and empowerment through ethically crafted, naturally dyed clothing. At the heart of the initiative are women artisans involved in the production process, benefiting from the social programs established.

Ni En More’s multifaceted social programs extend support to diverse backgrounds, fostering a community that transcends challenges.
The social programs encompass art, design, fashion, and art therapy initiatives, aiming not only to provide financial assistance, but also to instill confidence and skills crucial for participants to forge a sustainable future of economic independence. Currently, outreach extends to the Sur Oriente community of Ciudad Juarez, migrant women from various countries, including El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Venezuela, and other Mexican states. In a spirit of solidarity, Ni En More also collaborates with women from the indigenous Raramuri community, creating networks of economic support and unity among diverse groups of women.
Ni En More’s mission is not just selling clothing; it is weaving a tapestry of positive change, empowerment, and solidarity, demonstrating the transformative potential of ethical business practices and community-focused initiatives.
