»Selfies – Textile Self-Portraits«
Description
Intricate "selfies," handcrafted from textiles, allow the viewer to perceive the characters and self-images of the participants in the "NEW WOOL" project (Quartier gGmbH). For three years, women from various countries and cultures have been working together in the old town hall of Blumenthal. Under the artistic direction of Luisa Recker and Aurelia Maria Foti, each woman painstakingly created her own self-portrait, adorned with symbols that express her own image, character, and personal desires and aspirations…
The project “NEUE WOLLE” of Quartier gGmbH Bremen is funded by the Senator for Labour, Social Affairs, Youth and Integration using funds from the state and the European Social Fund Plus.
