In this three-part series, we draw inspiration from influential female artists whose innovative visual language and themes have left a lasting impression. We discover how they work with textiles, installations, and mixed media to explore themes such as vulnerability, strength, and identity.
Each session focuses on one artist:
Their work forms the starting point for our own creative process. We experiment with paper, cardboard, and textiles, combining drawing, painting, collage, cutting, folding, and sewing to create new forms. This creates a playful, investigative way of working that blurs boundaries and fosters personal interpretations.
Each session concludes with a short presentation and discussion: what resonated with us in the artist's work, and how does that resonate in our own work?
WISPER Gent is situated at the Dok Noord site. Make sure to read the information on our Dok Noord page beforehand because this place can be a bit of a maze when you first come here.
