Aufenthaltsstipendium Goethe-Institut Accra, Ghana 2015
Das künstlerische Projekt setzt sich intensiv mit der Bewahrung alter handwerklicher Traditionen auseinander und betont ihre Bedeutung für nachhaltige Praktiken. Durch die Kombination traditioneller Techniken mit umweltfreundlichen Materialien stärkt es nicht nur die lokale Identität und Gemeinschaft, sondern fördert auch langfristige wirtschaftliche Stabilität. Die ghanaische Webtradition, insbesondere die Kunst des Kente-Webens, spielt eine zentrale Rolle in diesem Videoprojekt, da sie nicht nur handwerkliches Geschick, sondern auch reiche kulturelle Erzählungen und Identitäten widerspiegelt. Ein Arbeitsstipendium des Goethe-Instituts ermöglichte der Künstlerin einen tiefen Einblick in die Welt der Kenteweber und inspirierte die Schaffung einer eindringlichen Videoinstallation, die die Geschichten, Klänge und Bewegungen der Webtradition in Ghana sensibel beschreibt.
The art project engages intensely with the preservation of old craft traditions, emphasizing their significance for sustainable practices. By combining traditional techniques with environmentally friendly materials, it not only strengthens local identity and community but also fosters long-term economic stability. The Ghanaian weaving tradition, particularly the art of Kente weaving, plays a central role in this video project, as it reflects not only craftsmanship but also rich cultural narratives and identities. A work grant from the Goethe Institute provided the artist with a deep insight into the world of Kente weavers, inspiring the creation of a poignant video installation that sensitively depicts the stories, sounds, and movements of the weaving tradition in Ghana.
