Koppelteken

Koppelteken Koppelteken’ is an exhibition on culture crossroads. We don’t belong to one specific group and this dash determines how we navigate through the Dutch society.

‘Koppelteken’ is a multidisciplinary exhibition. ‘Koppelteken’ or in English the dash refers to our cultural identity and the artists exhibiting their work are from a diverse cultural background. No one can clothe themselves with a different identity, therefore no one can truly experience what it means to live in the realm of the dash. All artists within this exhibition will share their own person

al stories and experiences. Our goal is to make the public aware that one’s cultural identity does not define them, yet is a part of them as individuals.

‘Koppelteken’ exhibition will start on the 9th of September with an openings event at 19:00. All artists will be introduced. On the 10th of September till the 17th of October every three days there will be new projects exhibited. Opening hours are:

Monday 16:00-20:00
Tuesday 14:00-20:00
Wednesday 14:00-20:00
Thursday 16:00-20:00

Visit Elnaz at Space101 with her project Carpet Codes.

Craftivism (craft+activism) is a growing worldwide movement where artists, activists and the general public use their crafting skills for political purposes. Going to a protest or calling your local politician is no longer the only way to raise your voice particularly in Iran. I used Craftivism as a practical method which enables women to voice their issues and create spaces in which they can share their thoughts and ideas and protest softly and discreetly.

After some first-hand experience of the censorship and repression, I decided to use the steganographic practice. I created a platform for women to share their stories since most Iranian women have access to carpets. I chose the carpet as a covert system to camouflage women’s sensitive stories. Carpets bring high value to the process of my project as they are transformed into a bank of data. Craftivism creates dialogue in the hopes of creating a positive change via personalised activism.

The following presentation is a form of many other possible forms of craftivism that could start this internal dialogue in a discreet manner. What if this dialogue invites more audiences? What if these new audiences were not only women?
