During the residency, we built a screen-printing studio and sewing workshop where we print sewing patterns onto fabric and process them into protective clothing - celebrating DIY-culture. In our collaborative work, we explore work processes and the concept of functionality. The design addresses one of the fundamental functions of clothing: protecting the body. However, 'protective clothing' goes beyond the purely practical aspects of knee pads for a road worker or a firefighter's fireproof suit. Danger can come from many different directions these days. The costume we designed is therefore adaptable to an individual's sense of danger or threat. What do you want to protect or protect yourself against? For the production of the costumes, we also invited fellow artists Marcel van den Berg, Nishiko, Oscar Peters, Vincka Struben, and Joubin Zargarbashi to create their own costumes based on our basic pattern.
