In a temporary studio in Delfzijl and Loppersum, we are building 'Kunstwerd', a place with space for your story and ideas. Together we will create an exhibition of the works of art created. We use paper as material. Paper from the authorities, documents and files about the earthquake problem. You can hand in your own files, to use them in the work of art. If you cannot or do not want to throw away your file yet, participate with the paper that has been collected from organizations that are involved in this.
We create works of art in which you can express your stories and emotions in a different form, in which you leave something behind and build something. Or are you still in the middle of it and can you not leave it behind? How do you keep it up? By working on it, in conversations or with your hands and materials, we pay attention to the situation you are in at the moment.
Do you like making, pasting, drawing or writing something? Register for a workshop, working with your hands for a while, getting out of your head, with or without words. We make small monuments, poems, collages and more. We conclude the project with an exhibition of the artworks. The locations of the project can be found soon at josefienalkema.nl/watiskunstwerd.
If you want to participate by handing in papers and files (and not with the workshops), hand in the paper to me at my studio in Huizinge.
