Weaving as a feminist practice
Tour / Revisited

With Teresa Fagbohoun (Fashion Designerin)

Weaving is one of the oldest craft techniques that people have been practicing for thousands of years. Production conditions and uses can vary greatly and have changed considerably up to the present day: it can be practiced for personal use on self-made looms, as an artistic technique or in a turbo-capitalist fashion industry. Social and cultural inequalities and power relations are reflected in all of these fields. On the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, selected works by Lise Gujer will be examined in conversation from perspectives that combine gender-based discrimination, intersectional feminism and empowering aspects with weaving.

Teresa Fagbohoun (*1986 in Mainz) works as a freelance fashion designer and teaches at the Berlin University of the Arts. Since graduating from the UdK Berlin, she has worked in the international clothing and accessories field and as the founder of her own bag label, Tabu. As part of her teaching practice, she explores the potential of fashion design from a power-critical perspective and how, as a practicing designer, the challenges of the contemporary fashion industry can be met in an equitable way. After living in São Paulo for many years, she is now a parent in Berlin.
