In a workshop with the artist Gesa Kolb, participants explored through artistic practice how fashion and fabric can become artistic materials – and how clothing can take on new meanings through design and recycling.

The event took place at Spandauerstraße 40, 57072 Siegen – where we were hosted by the Department of Artistic Strategies in Public Space & Cultural Education at the University of Siegen.

HENRI is more than just a second-hand shop: as a ‘third place’, the DRK shop creates an open space beyond home and work, where people can meet and get involved together – and HENRI also shares this understanding of a third place with MGKSiegen.

In addition, we collaborated with a seminar led by Prof. Johanna Schwarz and her Institute for Artistic Strategies in Public Space at the University of Siegen. Many thanks for the wonderful support, the provision of the premises and the artistic perspectives.

Venue: HENRI, Löhrtor 7, 57072 Siegen
