Lecture and Mini-Workshop
In her artistic work, Cécile Belmont combines participative projects with textile experiments. Social aspects take centre stage: People, specific places and the experience of everyday life and togetherness often form the starting point for her work. With collective embroideries and temporary screen printing workshops in public spaces, she invites everyone to participate. It's not about doing something ‘right’, but how everyone does it in their own way: experimentally or experimentally, endeavouring, roughly, ... the work emerges from the sum of all unique handwritings and personalities.
