Hilos de historias textiles (ES)
Tour / Revisited

With / con Karen Michelsen Castañón (Visual Artist / Artista visual)

Textile histories, colonialism and modernities – the artist Karen Michelsen Castañón takes up these threads in her tour and addresses the following questions: How are these themes intertwined? And which threads do Lise Gujer’s tapestries offer in order to engage in a conversation on art histories?

Karen Michelsen Castañón (born in Lima, Peru) is a visual artist, filmmaker and freelance researcher. Her work deals with the way (colonial) histories are told and includes short films, photographs and textiles. She questions how both hegemonic and invisible stories are re-staged in our everyday lives and how this relates to current social events.
