WEEF.collective is a Rotterdam-based performance and textile duo

by Lieve Fikkers and Hélène Vrijdag. We create time-specific and

site-specific weaving installations inspired by ecofeminism,

mythology and the concept of time. Our work is site specific in the

sense that it is pliable to different contexts: we have performed in

theatre festivals as well as in public spaces and at rave parties. Our

work is time specific in the sense that the scale of the weave

depends on how much time we can work on it: we have performed

durations of 4 hours as well as durations of 10 days. Weaving is a

disruptive and feminist act; it forces us and our audience to soften

and slow down. Making this meticulous, slow hand work visible is our

way to resist patriarchy, fast fashion and the capitalist rat race.
