Have you ever thought about weaving your own fabric? It is not at all difficult; all it takes is some thread, a few basic materials and knowledge of the weaving technique. In this workshop, inspired by the fabrics used by artists Adrien Vescovi, Güneş Terkol, Paul Maheke and Ilana Halperin in the exhibition Crystal Clear, we first prepare a weaving loom before designing our own colorful fabric to experience weaving as a tool of artistic expression.

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

Paula Rego in Istanbul!

We, by which I mean some of my classmates and I, knew about Paula Rego. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t know where Rego was from or even where in Europe Portugal was. I thought she was English. Let me tell you how I first heard the very un-English sounding name “Paula Rego”

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
