De Appel

This special workshop invites you to join in the embroidery and beading of textile works which will become part ofGuess Who’s Coming to Dinner Too?, a solo exhibition as a social monument by artist Patricia Kaersenhout, coming this autumn to De Appel and guest curated by Vivian Ziherl. The exhibition will honour thirty-eight women of colour who stand as ‘heroines of resistance’ in mythology, history and the present time with a ceremonial dinner-table.

A community embroidery workshop imagined as a ’Stitch-In”, will be the opportunity to gather around stories of the women honoured, and in the company of guest of honour Emory Douglas, former Minister for Culture of the Black Panther Party, who will speak of women in the movement. The event will be a social occasion of coming together, story-telling, and consciousness-raising. Embroidery skills are not compulsory.
