Playing with Ivy – Elena Braida, Inês Queirós, Julina Vanille Bezold & Samira Vogel
Saturday 13th July 2024
Location: Kas Keerweer
Playing with Ivy was a collaborative journey into the fascinating world of this evergreen climbing plant, exploring its stories, uses, and recipes. We spent an afternoon immersed in the wonders of this often-overlooked plant through the eyes and expertise of four artists: Elena Braida, Inês Queirós, Julina Vanille Bezold, and Samira Vogel.
Elena demonstrated ivy’s cleaning properties by guiding participants to make natural laundry detergent. Inês uncovered its potential for natural dyeing and ink-making, inviting guests to paint on cloth. Julina and Samira guided participants in collectively weaving with ivy-dyed fibres and contributing to their project Reimagining Looms. Through a foraging walk and enchanting tales, participants were encouraged to share stories and discover the many uses of one common plant.
