Ersel Musmul, graduated from Open Design Course is interested in improvisation and transformation of past patterns. His perspective to design is as an act of improvisation rather than as an innovative production. This perspective led him to search for visual elements among the design heritage in Ghent, to ‘reuse’ them, as he says. In Ghent, he dug into the archive of “De Collectie van de Gentenaar” and transformed the two dimensional visual elements he found on objects archived in that cultural storage. Then he asks his selected artists to 'reuse' those visual elements in the context of their practices. Until now, Ersel has worked with graffiti artist & illustrator Mica Vigliano and graphic designer & letterpress practitioner Armina Ghazaryan to embed those elements in their works. This time, Ersel asks Golnesa Rezanezhad, an artist and researcher, how she connects to those elements and if she can adopt them in her work. Golnesa is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher, she has worked in intersections of art, craft and design. Her works are inspired by design anthropology in which design is a collaborative making process that takes place in a social context. She focuses on form-giving both as a process of thinking and as an active form of social reproduction- social reproduction can be a moment of collective sharing, healing, emancipation or/and resistance. In this invitation, Golnesa invites participants for a collective practice of embroidery of hope. She symbolically links the flora patterns, that Ersel extracted and abstracted from the design heritage of the city, to hope- those patterns link to the nature that is reviving these days in the beginning of a new season, the season of flourishing, the Spring. In this event, participants will embroider those patterns with the questions about hope, resistance and solidarity that Golnesa and her participants will bring with them into the session. For her, this collective practice of embroidery is the practice of creation and preservation of hope, not as an individual practice but as a collective effort for imagination/creation of another world rather than the current world of devastating harm to humans and non-humans through war, mass migration and natural disasters.
