Bark Portraits

when: June 6, 2020 - June 28, 2020
where: EXbunker

‘Bark Portraits’ is an artistic research about the outmost layer of trees and our perception of this layer. Is bark really as static as you think?

A big part of the tree’s life takes place on this outer layer; the life of other organisms but also the aging of the tree itself. There is a lot of information you can get from the bark of a tree. You could see this layer as a fingerprint. Every tree has its own identity and thus his identical bark. A bark which changes and renews over time. Bark is alive.

Tagine and Tulips

Fatine Benouari

Tagine and Tulips tells the story of my bi-cultural identity, inspired by my grandmother’s journey as a first-generation Moroccan woman in the Netherlands. By merging Moroccan craftsmanship with Dutch traditional dress into textiles and form, I create a dialogue between past and present, heritage and environment. My work is an ode to migration, cultural blending and the richness of growing up bicultural. It reveals stories that often remain unseen and invites recognition and connection. For me, fashion serves as a social instrument and becomes a bridge between worlds where identity is not fixed but constantly evolving.
