Berlin with lines and thread

Drawing with recycled textiles for children and accompanying adults

With Meeting Lines (Art collective/ Marcos García Pérez und Carla Schliephack)

How do you see our city? In this workshop, we will creatively design Berlin with needle and thread. Inspired by the extraordinary collaboration between the weaver Lise Gujer and the Brücke artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, we will learn how drawings were transformed into impressive textile art. We want to try out Gujer's distinctive way of working, a mixture of art, comic and fabric, together and think about it further.

The workshop will take place in the Waldraum on the side of the Grunewald forest - a special place where nature and art meet. Inspired by Gujer's brightly colored tapestries, which focus on life between the city and the countryside, we will create imaginative everyday scenes. Used textiles and threads will be used to create lively scenes that interweave memories and visions of the future. By combining embroidery, drawing and painting, we give shape to your ideas for a Berlin worth living in.

 

Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack make up the Berlin-based art duo Meeting Lines. Together, they investigate critical collective processes at the intersection of human/environment and self-education/art. To this end, they develop site-specific drawing practices that involve copying, improvising and playing. The reuse of materials is central to their arts education work as well as their artistic practice.

Marcos García Pérez studied fine arts at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and graduated from the UdK Berlin in 2020 in the Art in Context programme. Since then, he has worked as an independent artist and art educator.

After earning a B.A. in fashion design, Carla Schliephack was a master student in the Sculpture Department at the weißensee academy of art berlin, a programme she continues to promote. Through further training as a systemic coach, she now works as an art educator and freelance artist in Berlin.
