about A woman - girlhood
about A woman is a series of research in which female artists are in dialogue about their position in the Dutch art scene.
The initiative for about A woman was taken by artist Maritsa van Luttikhuizen, who sought the cooperation with Astrid Moors, Debbie Voerman and me.
Around International Women's Day, under the title about A woman - girlhood - we will organise an exhibition which give a reflection on the girl from different perspectives and in different disciplines. From Saturday 7 till Sunday, March 22, 2020, we present work of ourselves and Guda Koster, Hinke Schreuders, Ingrid van der Hoeven and Netty van Osch at Art Space Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Kittel Schürze
In 2015, in Leipzig, in residence at LIA, I was inspired by, the clothing style of the GDR, the aprons worn by women who worked at the former Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei (cotton-spinning mill). The adornment, the buttons, the cut etc. Working women in the GDR were typically identified by the Kittel Schürze. Worn at work and at home. The Kittel Schürze had an inexhaustible variety of shapes, patterns and colours, and was usually made of Dederon, the GDR-variant of nylon. Strong, easy to wash, quick-drying and no ironing required. Disadvantage: airtight, so prone to sweat and causes body odour.
In 2019, I worked for 3 months at the Internationales Sommeratelier Aschersleben. A town not far from Leipzig. The history of the site, the former Papierwarenfabrik, incited me making new drawings. The information I gained from the city archive gave me also an inside of the Jewish women who worked in the factory. Particularly the story of Edith Hahn Beer. Her book The Jewish Bride, chapter 6 The slave girls of Aschersleben, treats life and work at the Bestehorn papierwarenfabrik. This inspired me to work on a new series of drawings under the title Sara.
In the exhibition in occasion of International Women's Day in Rotterdam, the Netherlands I show some of the Kittel Schürze series. The choice of the drawings for the exhibition has also to do with the origin of International Women's Day. There was a strike by women on March 8, 1908 in New York. The strike was directed against the poor working conditions in the textile industry and was the beginning of the struggle for women's emancipation and against inequality. The German women's rights activist Clara Zetkin did later the proposal to proclaim March 8 as International Women's Day. In Leipzig, I often cycled through the park named after her.
