Abstract
In this paper we analyze 14 textile activism initiatives in Bogota, explaining how the textile activity that supports them and their material production are examples of feminist postures that are not always explicit. The initiatives were identified through a chain referral sample method, their representatives were interviewed and the information gathered was analyzed in order to give an account of the type of activism they develop, underlining their objectives and the practices they perform. For this exercise, we took as a starting point the proposal of feminist continuum developed by Anne Beth Pentney, which allowed typifying the different cases as collective construction, oriented to promote social causes or as forms of denunciation or protest. We discuss the limitations of this continuum proposal when considering: temporal and spatial aspects, material conditions of textile production or when dimensioning the pedagogical proposals of knowledge transmission that some cases define as their central objective.

Summary
En este artículo analizamos 14 iniciativas de activismo textil en Bogotá, dando cuenta de cómo el quehacer textil que las soporta y su producción material son ejemplos de posturas feministas que no siempre son explícitas. Las iniciativas fueron identificadas a través de un rastreo por vínculos, sus representantes fueron entrevistadas y la información recogida analizada dando cuenta del tipo de activismo que desarrollan, subrayando sus objetivos y las prácticas que realizan. Tomamos como base la propuesta de continuum feminista desarrollada por Anne Beth Pentney que permitió tipificar los diferentes casos como de construcción de colectividad, orientadas a promover causas sociales o como formas de denuncia o protesta. Discutimos las limitaciones de esta propuesta de continuum cuando se toman en consideración aspectos temporales y espaciales, condiciones materiales de producción de lo textil o cuando se dimensionan las apuestas pedagógicas de transmisión de conocimiento que algunos casos definen como su objetivo central
