Exhibit in Museum De Voorde

Museum De Voorde has opened an exhibit on the concept of 'stoer', and they invited me to showcase my story and one of my dresses. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what stoer means, the English language does not really have a single word for it. It's a bit of valor, courage, and some bad-assery, but also diligence. This expo explores what being stoer means in our current time. One thing is certain: stoer-ness is about taking positive action.

As part of the exhibit another project was launched: Studio STOER. Locals are asked to share their most stoer stories and each month a jury member selects the most stoer story. I have been asked to judge the June edition, you can find my verdict on the Museum's Insta.

We had a great time at the opening, with plenty of try-it-yourself pieces to engage the kids!
