Exhibition by Sarah Waschke

Sarah Waschke was bron in 1991, has been living in Bonn since 2012 and has studied art history at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wlhelms-Universität of Bonn. Since 2015 she deals with textiles as a medium. She produces embroideries, carpets and objects, which she often assembles into small environments. 

The exhibition aimes to stimulate the vierwers visually and to let them dive into a world of fantasy and pleasure.

In her work, she deals with queerness, eroticism and intimacy as a fat femme. Sarah does not want to reproduce the medium of needlework as stereotypically feminine, but to use it as a feminist and activist means of self-determination. The artist shows her view of a feminine side of sex and eroticism, in which fat bodies are soft, pleasurable and sensual. But it is also about a self-caring view and taking oneself and one's sexual needs seriously.

On the 12th of April starting at 7 pm in the QZM the vernissage of the exhibition by Sarah Waschke will take place. The exhibition can be viewed during the regular opening hours after that.
