CRAFTED – Céline Tuloup: when textile becomes a committed artistic language

In this second Michael Culture Association video, Marco Fiore – project manager – and Juliette Pokorny – communication & projects intern – visited the studio of Céline Tuloup, visual artist and teacher, during her residency at the Maison des Ateliers de la Source-Rodin, in Meudon, southwest of Paris, France.

In the video, Céline Tuloup shows us how she has seized upon embroidery, textiles and traditional techniques inherited from the women in her family to talk about feminism and contemporary issues. Strongly committed to gender equality, she confronts the generally confined and domestic work of embroidery with feminist public statements, mixing the “small” and the “big” History.

This video was created in the scope of ‘CRAFTED: Enrich and promote traditional and contemporary crafts’, a project co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Commission.
