With Teresa Fagbohoun (Fashion Designer)
We experiment with threads and pieces of fabric freely in the room: the so-called warp and weft threads are stretched between the walls, ceiling, chairs and the participants. A wild web is created together in the forest room of the Brücke-Museum.
Weaving is a craft activity that can create a lot of joy through the experience of self-efficacy and immediate results. In this workshop, we take a playful approach to weaving with the help of warp threads, which are stretched criss-cross through the open space and can be transformed into a textile surface with self-made weft threads. Participants are welcome to bring their own fabrics or fabric remnants.
This workshop is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12 and their accompanying adults.
Teresa Fagbohoun (*1986 in Mainz) works as a freelance fashion designer and teaches at the Universität der Künste Berlin. Since graduating from the UdK Berlin, she has worked in the international clothing and accessories sector and as the founder of her bag label Tabu. As part of her teaching practice, she explores the potential of fashion design from a power-critical perspective and how the challenges of the contemporary fashion industry can be met in a justice-oriented way as a practicing designer. After living in São Paulo for many years, she is now a parent in Berlin.
