An art exhibition of works made with textile techniques like embroidering, sewing, weaving, knitting or any related technique that involves handwork. The project is an experiment of compiling works with connecting thread the idea of textile within the notion of non-product. However this very specific theme of textile, don’t be surprised if you see also video’s or be confronted with an action-performance. Our goal is to expand the limits of our self set margins.The idea is to show how traditional media of creation -specifically historically female art crafts - are incorporated in the contemporary artistic process.

'Mama's Arts'. Werken die gemaakt zijn met textieltechnieken als borduren, naaien, weven, breien of met een verwante techniek die handwerk impliceert. Het idee is om aan te tonen hoe de traditionele media van creatie – meer specifiek de historisch vrouwelijke kunstambachten - in het eigentijdse artistieke proces worden opgenomen. Met werken van 32 kunstenaars uit de hele wereld. 

The exhibition will take place in The Hague from15 November  to 14 December 2008.
