I, Draga Dina, am a textile artist and I create extroverted and colorful clothes, made to celebrate the shapes of the wearer, whatever they may be. It is important to me to ask people to gently step out of their comfort zone and celebrate that we are no longer forced to wear what we can wear. I have an intuitive way of working where I try to create a dream world so that people can experience my world view better. I do this by transforming the spaces where I display my collections to create a dream state where wearers feel safe. My creative process is not result-oriented and moves from my intuition. I often work alone and for this application the starting point is to invite other artists into my immersive environments.


"Happy New"

Performance

  • 01-10-2021 t/m 30-12-2021
  • In collaboration with: Ratri Notosudirdjo, Magdalenah Petrova, Lili ullrich, Ada Maricia Patterson, Jayda Reeberg, Elvedin Siljdedic, Giorgio Lepelblad, Kenneth Owens, Suzanne Stavast, Mavi Veloso,
  • Location: Schiedamseweg 4E, Rotterdam
  • 5 digital artists asked to send free work. I had those images printed on fabric and processed into clothing. Seeing digital art processed into a 3D medium such as clothing is an interesting transformation. And that is immediately one of the core values ​​of “HAPPY NEW” Being in connection with others and coming up with a new item together. As a next step, I hired 9 performers to perform in my own home while wearing the new collection.
