Our students have come out of a period of isolation and distance that has safeguarded their individual design languages and given them integrity.
Monumental projects have emerged in a longing to reach out and be seen. But the projects also show a need for the tactile, the enjoyable and the personal encounter. The encounter between the hand and the material, but also the relationship to nature, to time, and between humans and animals. We see how the students have embraced traditional textile techniques but developed them into something contemporary.
Topics such as sexuality, identity and class are also seen in this year’s degree projects, in which several students use the textile materials to paint their stories.
