Craft Portrait: Dorozome Craft Portrait is a series of projects on contemporary craftsmanship co-initiated with Japanese designer Satomi Minoshima. The first edition explores Dorozome, a traditional Japanese mud-dyeing technique. The process involves repeatedly dyeing white threads with tree bark and mud until they reach a deep black colour. The installation, created during a 3-week research trip to Amami Oshima in Japan, is a four-meter-high tent where Dorozome colours continuously twist to meet and separate again. Their movement recalls the gestures of the artisans during the repetitive cycle of wringing, which is omnipresent throughout the dyeing process. The installation highlights the usually invisible process colours of the technique. By tackling the so-called artisan aesthetic –the aesthetic of artefacts incomplete or in the process– a stage is provided to those anonymous colours to exist.&nbsp; Additionally to the immersive installation, a publication compiles eleven interviews of Dorozome artisans, accompanied by a photography series. By involving the artisans and creating space for their testimonies, stories and opinions on their craft, we lead a dialogue surrounding craftsmanship that values the speech of the people performing it every day –at its core, the project originates from the wish to narrate craftsmanship in the most forthright way. At the heart of the Craft Portrait series lies the desire to tell the story of crafts in a new way. Moving beyond nostalgic or exoticizing narratives often associated with traditional crafts, Craft Portrait: Dorozome explores the alternative, almost rebellious potential of craftsmanship and what essential values it could contribute towards a more sustainable and conscious future. 2020-2021 Collaboration with designer&nbsp;Satomi Minoshima Collaboration with Yukihito Kanai and the artisans of Dorozome workshop Kanai Kougei Mechanical design by Matiss Balodis Realized during the fellowship program FORMAT of Z33 House for Contemporary Art, Design &amp; Architecture Supported by POLA Art Foundation Exhibitions 2025 Fermenting Textiles, Art Laboratory Berlin, Germany 2023 Swiss Design Awards, Basel, Switzerland 2022 Research!

Situated Dyeing / Schwarzfärben at Sitterwerk In 2026, I was mandated by the art library and material archive Sitterwerk in St. Gallen, Switzerland, to collaborate on a textile dyeing research around black dyeing. Recontextualizing the library’s historical location as an industrial black dyeing facility in the 1980s, the project was to collaborate on an experimental dyeing research making use of locally sourced materials. Together, we developed a dyeing research using materials from the Sitterwerk cosmos in the Sittertal area of St. Gallen. Making use of various key locations such as the kitchen, the neighbouring Kunstgiesserei St. Gallen, the river and its banks, and local forests, we gathered various tree barks, food rests, metal leftovers and river mud and experimented with those materials to develop a site-specific textile installation exploring the colours and processes behind natural black dyeing. The final textile exhibition, made of seven big pieces of textiles, will be exhibited in the Sitterwerk art library, the former black dyeing room, opening on 4th June 2026. Situated Dyeing is a design method term we coined during our textile dyeing research at Sitterwerk, directly drawing from Donna J. Haraway’s essay Situated Knowledges (Donna J. Haraway, Simians, Cyborgs, and Women (pp. 183-201), Free Association Books, 1991), in which she advocates for “situated” knowledge in science, knowledge that acknowledges the specific situation of a scientific research, as opposed to the common idea that science is objective.Similarly, we are wondering how the specific situation and history of the Sitterwerk cosmos is reflected in what materials are available to us to create black dyes. The questions we ask with the project are: What makes a contextual dyeing practice? What does natural or local dyeing mean in a complex world shaped by centuries of trade, exchange and hybridisation? How does the extraction of colour mirror the essence of a place? 2026 (on-going) In collaboraton with Sitterwerk FoundationCurated by Wayne Switzer and Claudine Brignot Exhibitions 2026 (upcoming) SCHWARZ ≠ SCHWARZ.

The Line is a Curve The Line is a Curve is a research into topics of movement, pattern, form and tension in jiao tai ceramics and bamboo. At the core of the research is how movements of both maker and material can be translated into an object that carries the poetry of the making process. In jiao tai (twisted clay), the artisan’s movements directly translate into a pattern, curving the lines into a motif. Inspired by the beauty of this moment, a research around pattern abstraction was developed. Jiao tai patterns being usually present throughout the whole piece, isolating one pattern was a new challenge. The movement is given full attention but tension is thus created. In order to mirror the presence of tension in the ceramics tray, an additional bamboo handle was developed. Working with tension, it holds the piece together just by being opened up and brushing against the ceramics. Conceptual as well as functional, it also adds a practical removable handle to the tray. Resulting from a one-month residency at Róng Design Library (Qingshan Village, China), the project revolved around an in-depth crafts and design research pursued in collaboration with local Chinese artisans. 2025 Collaboration with Zhu Chen Jiao Tai Studio and Lai Lai Bamboo Weaving Studio Realized during a 1-month residency at Róng Design Library, China Supported by Pro Helvetia Shanghai and Pro Helvetia Design Exhibitions 2026 Holder, Receiver, angle gallery 11, Shanghai, China https://paulineagustoni.com/the-washi-exploratory Sat, 10 Sep 2022 12:31:41 +0000 Pauline Agustoni https://paulineagustoni.com/the-washi-exploratory images <img width="1080" height="719" width_o="1080" height_o="719" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f2013bf7b3221858982cd1763d93974a8a841901f9d4da5c85fd81778cbf6f9/_0131.jpg" data-mid="202452727" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f2013bf7b3221858982cd1763d93974a8a841901f9d4da5c85fd81778cbf6f9/_0131.jpg" /> <img width="718" height="1080" width_o="718" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6996cfc3408b88b3e60c98cda6f3aa81603b9d0bef6f0fd3873df4eafcfa0d8a/_0166.jpg" data-mid="202452731" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/718/i/6996cfc3408b88b3e60c98cda6f3aa81603b9d0bef6f0fd3873df4eafcfa0d8a/_0166.jpg" /><img width="719" height="1080" width_o="719" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dacb26d402dde0c39760150fe15f4120cbd24b7ab477c09fe6e705e1bbfd1cdb/_0142.jpg" data-mid="202452728" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/719/i/dacb26d402dde0c39760150fe15f4120cbd24b7ab477c09fe6e705e1bbfd1cdb/_0142.jpg" /><img width="719" height="1080" width_o="719" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e04ab6d639e09b715812ab08801760724f4e2a62e33e5858b1099ec160270b2/_0186.jpg" data-mid="202452730" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/719/i/7e04ab6d639e09b715812ab08801760724f4e2a62e33e5858b1099ec160270b2/_0186.jpg" /><img width="719" height="1080" width_o="719" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d7c281d869ea33f5fb38701992d2907769e933386e0bbbef3975ba05aebd9d9/_0148.jpg" data-mid="202452732" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/719/i/6d7c281d869ea33f5fb38701992d2907769e933386e0bbbef3975ba05aebd9d9/_0148.jpg" /> 1 <img width="722" height="1080" width_o="722" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca16f6f0d3b00efb1ad42494b129437c983f5db9695079e3d20ccf1b1ccc18de/190611-JN_althaus_MJAIR-09.jpg" data-mid="152564662" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/722/i/ca16f6f0d3b00efb1ad42494b129437c983f5db9695079e3d20ccf1b1ccc18de/190611-JN_althaus_MJAIR-09.jpg" /> 2 <img width="608" height="1080" width_o="608" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0c098812173dde5dceebd79401341583383576c5f956bed31c007a98917dbb0/InnovativeWashicMartinaHuynh00018.jpg" data-mid="152564663" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/608/i/b0c098812173dde5dceebd79401341583383576c5f956bed31c007a98917dbb0/InnovativeWashicMartinaHuynh00018.jpg" /> 3 <img width="791" height="1080" width_o="791" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aece12591d387e870b36881cd9f0818e0fbdbf7479aa5384da917f58c2bc0e9c/P1100450eb.jpg" data-mid="152564671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/791/i/aece12591d387e870b36881cd9f0818e0fbdbf7479aa5384da917f58c2bc0e9c/P1100450eb.jpg" /><img width="811" height="1080" width_o="811" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0fd814989bb7c71a9ff95ebd605c712e08d485496919fa49b23e8b80f376223c/P1100468e.jpg" data-mid="152564672" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/811/i/0fd814989bb7c71a9ff95ebd605c712e08d485496919fa49b23e8b80f376223c/P1100468e.jpg" /><img width="811" height="1080" width_o="811" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d4a622374b1e43115b9aff3b845ffd0f77fc673df3076be110d0d730bba8faf/P1100476e.jpg" data-mid="152564673" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/811/i/8d4a622374b1e43115b9aff3b845ffd0f77fc673df3076be110d0d730bba8faf/P1100476e.jpg" /> 4 notes 1 The Washi Exploratory exhibited at MONO Japan Fair 2022 (photography by Yuta Sawamura)2 Sekishu Washi seets drying in the sun in Misumi, Japan3&nbsp;Talk about handmade paper with Sekishu Washi artisan So Kubota, artist Annelinde de Jong and designer Jonas Althaus 3 Selection of samples (folding, embossing, weaving) 04. The Washi Exploratory What associations does hand-made paper evoke today? The craft of Sekishu Washi is carried on by only four remaining workshops in the region of Shimane. Used for centuries in Japanese architecture and popular craft items, washi paper is strongly rooted in traditional applications. But what happens when this special material is placed in contemporary or industrial contexts? What new potentials are then revealed? Inspired by its high endurance, strength, and sustainable production method, The Washi Exploratory investigates the (im)material qualities of washi. In the shape of an interactive paper installation, different treatments of Sekishu Washi are displayed that communicate the paper’s unique properties and reflect on new perceptions of washi. Using a handheld washi light, visitors are invited to illuminate and freely explore the many facets and possibilities with this paper.

Washi Futurism The Washi Futurism collective is formed by design duos Craft Portrait (Pauline Agustoni and Satomi Minoshima) and Cream on Chrome (Jonas Althaus and Martina Huynh). Building up on The Washi Exploratory, Washi Futurism is the second phase of the project. During two months of research in Misumi, Japan, the group learned from and collaborated with papermakers So Kubota and Masaru Nishita. Dedicated to the production of Sekishu Washi, these artisans craft a handmade paper renowned for its exceptional strength, flexibility, and warm texture. Deeply rooted in local history, Sekishu Washi also presents numerous opportunities for innovative applications. Moreover, its production follows a sustainable process that respects both the environment and local communities, making this craft a unique technique with immense potential for design and architecture. Tailored for the museum Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, Washi Futurism takes over two rows at Gallery 3. At the exhibition space, an interactive installation and a hybrid publication place the material at the center of attention. In the first row, speculative videos explore the future(s) of this traditional craft, emphasizing its untapped potential. Interactive stations invite visitors to engage with the material firsthand. In the second row, a paper installation is activated by a light show, letting the material speak for itself. The publication bridges the sensory experience of paper with the digital realm by offering access to immersive 360º videos. Artisan testimonials share insights into their learning process and their deep connection to the craft. By rethinking the mediation of a very traditional craft in a future-oriented way, Washi Futurism explodes preconceived notions about Sekishu Washi papermaking and shows the craft for what it truly is: revolutionary. 2023-2024 Collaboration with designers&nbsp;Satomi Minoshima and Cream on Chrome Collaboration with papermakers So Kubota and Masaru Nishita Supported by Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve

pieces, collection of longer arch connections 7 Making of the molds 8 Kiln God 03. Such Vacant Ropes Such Vacant Ropes reinterprets fundamental weaving techniques with clay and explores the poetics and movements of clay in a series of pieces that play with gravity and flirt with fragility. Clay threads are draped into molds in inverted arches, forming increasingly complex woven structures as they rise. Inspired by weaving and basketry principles, the textile influences are strongly present behind the work. The pieces seem to float above the ground, defined by their empty spaces. These voids highlight each thread’s movement, allowing the natural pull of gravity to shape the clay into soft loops. The threads are joined at various points with a simple gesture, a press of the thumb, creating what is known as a "weak joint". This connection, built up on ancestral weaving principles, reveals the surprising plasticity of clay, as it presses into itself to become its own bond. The formed loops represent the chain of workers who have been continuously weaving matter throughout centuries. Alongside the pieces, the presence of massive molds speaks of support and weight, essential to the creation of such delicate structures. Made of clay themselves, the molds support the pieces during the drying and firing processes, moving in sync with the pieces they hold. More than functional tools, they stand as silent witnesses to the choreography between hand and material, questioning the relationship between the object and the means of its making. 2024 Realized

Hydrorecord Hydrorecord is an on-going experimental research project in collaboration with the aquatic geochemist David Janssen. Collaborating in the context of the art and science programme PolARTS by Pro Helvetia and Swiss Polar Institute, Pauline Agustoni and Dave Janssen form a tandem interested in the role that art and science can jointly play in understanding glacial lakes and water chemistry holistically. Interested in fieldwork technologies and tool design, their research focussed on working with several augmented scientific devices to generate ambiguous and artistic visual material that offers a new perspective on water research. Situating their research on networks of glacial lakes in Switzerland and Southern Greenland, their experimental project revolves around the understanding of scientific and artistic processes, tools, technologies and gestures, to reflect on the role they can play in understanding complex waterscapes, as well as dissect contextual and political situations of scientific research. What forms of materiality are embodied in scientific and artistic technologies, and through which gestures, practices, and protocols are they activated? Under what motivations were these tools developed, and how are they simultaneously shaped by new scientific objectives?&nbsp;As sensitive and technical interfaces, how do they operate as sites of translation between bodies, aquatic environments, and scientific knowledge, while simultaneously exposing the frictions and opacities inherent to science? The project is as much about the tools and processes themselves as it is about offering new perspectives on scientific research, making visible the often-invisible processes and chemistry that shape our understanding of these lake environments. 2024 - ongoing Collaboration with aquatic geochemist David Janssen and Eawag -&nbsp;Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology Realized in the art and science collaboration programme PolARTS of Pro Helvetia and Swiss Polar Institute (2024-2025) Supported by Pro Helvetia, Swiss Polar Institute and Ernst Göhner Stiftung https://paulineagustoni.com/l-as-in-walking Wed, 30 Oct 2019 01:02:24 +0000 Pauline Agustoni https://paulineagustoni.com/l-as-in-walking images <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99561d5f1469dd71e66f56132b59e80c82a31af0c5342d5d3fd3d62747948729/l-as-in-walking-1.jpg" data-mid="100612278" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/99561d5f1469dd71e66f56132b59e80c82a31af0c5342d5d3fd3d62747948729/l-as-in-walking-1.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31d02f6089a4e88d8285f831ea9ba7ec2cbc30a9491f6ec83ad4c71c224e47c9/l-as-in-walking-2.jpg" data-mid="100612279" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31d02f6089a4e88d8285f831ea9ba7ec2cbc30a9491f6ec83ad4c71c224e47c9/l-as-in-walking-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dbffaa0d54a0e30e9bc414bf1c6ecbf50a7f0d746367afcf60595658d45ac96a/l-as-in-walking-3.jpg" data-mid="100612280" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dbffaa0d54a0e30e9bc414bf1c6ecbf50a7f0d746367afcf60595658d45ac96a/l-as-in-walking-3.jpg" /> 1 <img width="2000" height="767" width_o="2000" height_o="767" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a50948619e019f499632d408ab8b64a5af7ae090c43ddb114983d726d2d6c8df/04.1_WEB-cover.png" data-mid="220464311" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a50948619e019f499632d408ab8b64a5af7ae090c43ddb114983d726d2d6c8df/04.1_WEB-cover.png" /> <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efc93532bf5539577fb0abde35a9a0a2397a913a6ae866d252b7edcba4706f65/01_IG-post.png" data-mid="220464346" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efc93532bf5539577fb0abde35a9a0a2397a913a6ae866d252b7edcba4706f65/01_IG-post.png" /> 2 <img width="3726" height="5001" width_o="3726" height_o="5001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5d483aa31f2f18b667ac4d06cf23f245f27985699bfbe998ef29d8a9bff607d/l-as-in-walking-exhibition.jpg" data-mid="100612282" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5d483aa31f2f18b667ac4d06cf23f245f27985699bfbe998ef29d8a9bff607d/l-as-in-walking-exhibition.jpg" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4dbb7baa70d7f8c0a5c1fcc496f771e09dd70e1d37e2629856d3b3a85f3bfa8c/l-as-in-walking-exhibition-detail.jpg" data-mid="100612281" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4dbb7baa70d7f8c0a5c1fcc496f771e09dd70e1d37e2629856d3b3a85f3bfa8c/l-as-in-walking-exhibition-detail.jpg" /> 3 <img width="939" height="1472" width_o="939" height_o="1472" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c6a7a96db48630b72741380eeb874b6c6aeeb3139a07a4b24b59a0c9f71f58ee/Onomatopee-195-_-Rights-of-Way-_-Amy-Gowen-_-ISBN-978-94-93148-70-3_-image-4.jpg" data-mid="226652711" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/939/i/c6a7a96db48630b72741380eeb874b6c6aeeb3139a07a4b24b59a0c9f71f58ee/Onomatopee-195-_-Rights-of-Way-_-Amy-Gowen-_-ISBN-978-94-93148-70-3_-image-4.jpg" /> 4 <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d7003606bc00559fefcd09f2add0ebbfc59424c18e32d7bd83e0652ebf21bb1/export-radio-banner.jpg" data-mid="100612277" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d7003606bc00559fefcd09f2add0ebbfc59424c18e32d7bd83e0652ebf21bb1/export-radio-banner.jpg" />5 notes 1 L as in Walking associative words and photographs2 Blooming Archive exhibition banner at IHLIA LGBTI Heritage3 Snapshots of the exhibition Rights of Way at&nbsp;Onomatopee&nbsp; 4 Rights of Way publication5 Talking about the project on Export Radio 09. L as in Walking L as in Walking is an experimental photography project about the relationship between queer women and public space as well as an accompanying article published in the Rights of Way publication of art publishers Onomatopee.Lesbians walk and talk of their experiences in public space. Their steps move in rhythm with their dialogues and amplify their stories. Walking in the very public space they are talking about and actively inhabiting, the interviewer and interviewee perform an activist action. Being both visible and present with their walking bodies in the streets enhances their conversation about lesbians’ invisibility in public space as well as throughout public history. Addressing issues of visibility, solidarity, transphobia and racism, communal living, activism and safety, they share with the audience a broad range of perceptions and analysis about the streets we walk everyday. Analogue photographs of the places they talk about accompany their words, alongside a series of automatic associations they have made whilst walking through these spaces.&nbsp; Hearing stories of queer women’s relationship with the spaces they are surrounded by is an attempt to give back a piece of the universal public space to them and to enhance the importance of actively hearing out their understanding of it. As a minority, lesbians –and women more generally– have had to fight hard for their access to public space. Their stories and deep instinctive associations with space offer a rich and subtle peek into their experience of the streets of Berlin. 2020 The research was supported by IHLIA LGBTI Heritage and Spinnboden Lesbenarchiv und Bibliothek Berlin Exhibitions 2024 Blooming Archive, IHLIA LGBTI Heritage, Amsterdam, the Netherlands 2020 Rights of Way, Onomatopee, Eindhoven, the Netherlands https://paulineagustoni.com/mastectomy-caregiver Tue, 29 Oct 2019 23:37:25 +0000 Pauline Agustoni https://paulineagustoni.com/mastectomy-caregiver images <img width="2848" height="2851" width_o="2848" height_o="2851" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/139d471b8b92dd8a074a643a5e6f826a80dc70e397ee9c03ed98662e2fb6b9a3/mastectomy-caregiver.jpg" data-mid="100612159" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/139d471b8b92dd8a074a643a5e6f826a80dc70e397ee9c03ed98662e2fb6b9a3/mastectomy-caregiver.jpg" /> 1 <img width="4272" height="2848" width_o="4272" height_o="2848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b19aa8ba7b68fabb8e65863aeeffd4c57092de3012ec9d9514b47e1e1aad912/mastectmy-caregiver-samples.jpg" data-mid="100612157" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b19aa8ba7b68fabb8e65863aeeffd4c57092de3012ec9d9514b47e1e1aad912/mastectmy-caregiver-samples.jpg" /> 2 <img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2f98332595c22e42184e079e81590d37318411c5db6169b82b7c6bd7cfbb994/industrial-knitting-machine-1.jpg" data-mid="100612153" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2f98332595c22e42184e079e81590d37318411c5db6169b82b7c6bd7cfbb994/industrial-knitting-machine-1.jpg" /><img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/892b071608997877e7ecbf0b75bef3be07cb930701d1be739dfcb83b3a2366ae/industrial-knitting-machine-2.jpg" data-mid="100612154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/892b071608997877e7ecbf0b75bef3be07cb930701d1be739dfcb83b3a2366ae/industrial-knitting-machine-2.jpg" /><img width="1280" height="800" width_o="1280" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f33350ab56924ea3db338b006bfcd8115cb6e28bcf92f75ca7821daf1abccd03/industrial-knitting-machine-3.jpg" data-mid="100612155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f33350ab56924ea3db338b006bfcd8115cb6e28bcf92f75ca7821daf1abccd03/industrial-knitting-machine-3.jpg" /> 3 <img width="2447" height="3664" width_o="2447" height_o="3664" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2b5e83cbcce8ebf35733500b4d0d56c6892ef21378862a29ef6be3f707b39db/mastectomy-caregiver-collection.jpg" data-mid="100612158" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2b5e83cbcce8ebf35733500b4d0d56c6892ef21378862a29ef6be3f707b39db/mastectomy-caregiver-collection.jpg" /> 4 <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cddeef150640003de48c695e2f860247dfb8588a176a4a3f26b45afcdef46a0a/structural-knitting-software.JPG" data-mid="100612162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cddeef150640003de48c695e2f860247dfb8588a176a4a3f26b45afcdef46a0a/structural-knitting-software.JPG" /> 5 notes 1 Mastectomy Caregiver2 Knitting samples&nbsp;3 Knitting machine at Knitwear Lab 4&nbsp;Yinka modelling for Mastectomy Caregiver 5 Developing session at TextielMuseum Tilburg 10. Mastectomy Caregiver Mastectomy Caregiver is the creation of adapted knitwear for women who experienced a mastectomy during their breast cancer treatment. The sweater acts as a protective shell during the woman’s recovery phase, using the industrial knitting technique to create volume around the bust and the arm areas. It takes into account the patient’s needs after the operation: it is easy to put on with one arm, it allows enough space for a transfusion to go through the sleeve, it is friendly to sensitive skin and it leads the gaze of others towards the face instead of the bust. A software model&nbsp;was specifically programmed to knit the sweater. It combines tight and loose stitches in order to create volume. The sweater’s pieces are also knit directly in shape, hence avoiding any yarn waste. 2019 Collaboration with Hôpital du Jura and breast cancer association Vivre Comme Avant Collaboration with Knitwear Lab Supported by Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie and Stichting Knitting Holland Exhibitions 2019 Global Grad Show, Dubai Design Week, United Arab Emirates2019 Graduation Show of Design Academy Eindhoven, Dutch Design Week, the Netherlands https://paulineagustoni.com/informal-feminist-library-1 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:30:00 +0000 Pauline Agustoni https://paulineagustoni.com/informal-feminist-library-1 images <img width="1290" height="1720" width_o="1290" height_o="1720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64388dd53ce659c9569d0cf023b1200c7108b35ed8b0450605336cf1863473e2/IMG_6471.jpg" data-mid="247514142" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64388dd53ce659c9569d0cf023b1200c7108b35ed8b0450605336cf1863473e2/IMG_6471.jpg" /> 1 <img width="1772" height="2600" width_o="1772" height_o="2600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d02388b2a666ffb844e9656bbfcda20561360210e5b2d209fd8aed1b459c19a/ifl-graphic-2.png" data-mid="247514143" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d02388b2a666ffb844e9656bbfcda20561360210e5b2d209fd8aed1b459c19a/ifl-graphic-2.png" /> 2 <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a3226d14f1c7a4a9b8bf3043e36443dd14f6fb9ab3ed3412a8fe6b684fdb9df/natural-enemies-of-books.jpg" data-mid="245802415" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a3226d14f1c7a4a9b8bf3043e36443dd14f6fb9ab3ed3412a8fe6b684fdb9df/natural-enemies-of-books.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d72c220b81094cf1a2d309b8498e2b97aaaf66becc5bed58cef8ebc02d16ef9/on-beauty.jpg" data-mid="245802416" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d72c220b81094cf1a2d309b8498e2b97aaaf66becc5bed58cef8ebc02d16ef9/on-beauty.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c233737b0034a3df72093bc1954e3a7af51f46e98268e99facf99c6cd7128595/orlando.jpg" data-mid="245802417" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c233737b0034a3df72093bc1954e3a7af51f46e98268e99facf99c6cd7128595/orlando.jpg" /> 3 <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0bbcc808d32380abb2b46c9d37ad3ef4d1ae153707c7d6902b2f71babd91a943/fragmented-symposium-ifl.jpg" data-mid="245802409" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0bbcc808d32380abb2b46c9d37ad3ef4d1ae153707c7d6902b2f71babd91a943/fragmented-symposium-ifl.jpg" /> 4 <img width="776" height="1080" width_o="776" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca054e525d2f0da1d17c3073bd02e4a6d6dfce6797ee5304c567cd1369da6d8d/a-message-from-ifl-comic.jpg" data-mid="245802408" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/776/i/ca054e525d2f0da1d17c3073bd02e4a6d6dfce6797ee5304c567cd1369da6d8d/a-message-from-ifl-comic.jpg" />5 <img width="2848" height="2854" width_o="2848" height_o="2854" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f9b994a5a54c0f88aaea9ce3c6f04880a333c9ca0b88552c9945ba7ef574ff3f/meeting-grounds-publication-1.jpg" data-mid="245802410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f9b994a5a54c0f88aaea9ce3c6f04880a333c9ca0b88552c9945ba7ef574ff3f/meeting-grounds-publication-1.jpg" /><img width="2848" height="2848" width_o="2848" height_o="2848" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/810d6cb73050b28d767aab087177666f5e56415bf69b5bde5c81522508aa82d0/meeting-grounds-publication-2.jpg" data-mid="245802411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/810d6cb73050b28d767aab087177666f5e56415bf69b5bde5c81522508aa82d0/meeting-grounds-publication-2.jpg" /> 6 notes 1 ifl&nbsp;informal feminist library 2 ifl’s logo 3 books from ifl’s collection 4 Onomatopee x ifl’s online event Fragmented Symposium - No Is Not Enough 5comic A Message From IFL, published in the Meeting Grounds publication on public libraries by Onomatopee6 Meeting Grounds publication 06. informal feminist library informal feminist library is an independent library dedicated to intersectional queer, decolonial and feminist perspectives on art, crafts and design. Next open day: 23/05/2026! Initiated in 2020 in Eindhoven, the library has known various locations in Eindhoven and Berlin, following its librarian through her various working spaces. The library is currently based at Florastraße 61, 13187 Berlin-Pankow. Constituted of more than 120 books, it is a collection of publications (art books, essays, short stories, novels, comics and zines) about art, feminism, queer theory, decolonialism, crafts and design. The books are available for consultation on site during dedicated open days.It is all at once a private collection gone public, an easy access to feminist, queer and decolonial writings about art, and a big question mark on what is official and what is informal.ifl’s adage is best expressed by the adjectives that describe what the library aims to be : informal: the library is a fluid space, in constant change, freely curated by the librarian’s current readings and projects. communal: the books are available to consult on site, and the library’s members are welcome to spend time in the library for their research. inclusive: the library is an open space for anyone to come in and read, discuss or have a cup of coffee. critical: the library is the host to a number of events involving exhibitions, talks and workshops. inspiring: the library proves that everyone can be a librarian and that the act of sharing knowledge starts where we want it to. 2020-now Supported by Stichting Cultuur Eindhoven
