We sailed to Corme, a seafaring town on the Costa da Morte in Galicia, where the artisanal tradition of the Redeiras, the women of Galicia who repair fishing nets, intertwines with innovation and creativity.
We will learn about the inspiring stories of Rosa and María Jesús, whose skill in making fishing nets has transcended generations and has found new paths. We also learned about the story of Rober, who keeps the flame of the gooseneck barnacle fishermen alive.
Hand by hand, knot by knot
Born on this coast, María Jesús had to reinvent herself professionally and found the path of the redeiras, women who repaired nets and other fishing gear. A journey that has taken her down paths she could not have suspected at her beginning.
Another life for the nets
The redeira trade has managed to carve out its own space in the fashion and design environment thanks, among other things, to Enredadas, a public initiative that seeks to diversify this activity. Among the women who champion it is Rosa Rodríguez.
The passion for the sea
Hands become the common element for working this hard but also beautiful land. Since he was 16, Rober's hands have been searching for seafood delicacies where only experience and expertise can reach.
The new forms of craftsmanship
Corme offers us a lesson on how tradition, driven by passion and creativity, can transform and find new forms of expression. The dedication of the Redeiras is a shining example of a legacy that looks to the future with strength and originality.
