Printing Algae, Fungi and Contaminations

Biotalk: Wednesday 20 May.

This is what happens when four young female (fashion) designers start working with living materials. Rasa Weber from Studio Blond&Bieber prints with micro-algae, Tessa Kuipers silkscreens with fungi, Studio Nienke Hoogvliet uses leftover fish skin to create garments and Tamara Hoogeweegen personalises clothes with her own contaminations. Biotalk: Printing Algae, Fungi and Contamination explores the aesthetic and creative potential of micro-organisms for textile development and fashion design.

Doors open at 20:00, talks start at 20:30. Get your tickets now and join the facebook event. Students pay only €5,00!

RE-SEA ME by Studio Nienke Hoogvliet - RE-SEA ME is the continuation of SEA ME. To show the duality between plastic waste in the oceans and the sustainable materials the oceans have to offer, Nienke continued her search for materials out of the sea. She discovered that fish skins are a waste product of the fishing industry, while you can also make them into beautiful leather.
