PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
Jana Coorevits ' artistic practice is at the intersection between experimental film, photography and visual art. She addresses issues surrounding femininity, vulnerability and trauma. In recent years, her focus has been on the search for ways to speak about personal and collective experiences with sexual violence through artistic work.
Jietske Vermoortele works with personal history and archives through documenting her own body and voice, and that of close relationships and her environment. She combines various media such as diaries, drawings, photography, video and vocal improvisations. Themes are the body as archive, the house as container, as a social, architectural construct, womanhood and living together.
Kapinga Joséphine Muela Kabeya is mainly concerned with spirituality, femininity, rituals and the exploration of existence. Her work, playful and naive, reflects her search for connection with nature, appropriating her own place and justifying her right to exist as a queer woman of color.
Merel Stolker builds her art practice around human contact. Our relationships are something we often take for granted, so we rarely think about all the social rules and norms that unnoticed shape our interactions. Merel conducts ongoing research into social contact, by questioning and deepening it. She currently focuses mainly on the question of what happens when our relationships are difficult and we feel lonely.
Everything that Joanneke Jouwsma researches around How to be there? is connected to herself. The self-portraits take different forms and bear themes such as the female body, religion, identity, psychological disorders and nature. In this way, Jouwsma creates a space with different rhythms and repetitions in which the self-portraits reverberate like poems.
