EXHALATION

Two women are performing a dance or yoga pose in a room with a mirror showing their reflection. They are bent forward with their heads close together, touching, with their hands resting on their legs. Both are barefoot and wearing dark, velvety clothing.

Two women standing close together, wearing matching dark blue velvet outfits with intricate stitching. They are barefoot and appear to be in a modern, minimalist studio with clothing hung upside down on the ceiling or wall behind them.

"exhalation as a metaphor for the noxious and toxic effects textile landfills have on the environment and the animate beings.

it can also be understood as a synonym for the sensation of being able to breathe again and a feeling of relief as an outcome of a collective creation of utopias which tell us about futures with less waste." (artist text)

The immersive and interdisciplinary exhibition is dedicated to the issues of the negative effects of mass production and the increased accumulation of textile waste.

Utopias are needed. Community is needed. Shared spaces are needed where ideas, concepts and dreams can flourish together. Dreaming about a future that wastes less resources, produces less textile waste and does not exploit workers anymore.

Through visual art, performances, screenings and workshops, we are moving into a utopian world that creates spaces for utopias about a more sustainable future.
