BIEN Artist Talk: Oloop Collective

In conjunction with the retrospective exhibition of the Oloop Collective, we invite you to a discussion with the members of the collective. In conversation with journalist Neža Borkovič from Val 202, questions about the significance of textiles and its role in society will be explored.

The Oloop Collective is active in various fields of visual creation—from product and spatial design to participatory and socially engaged practices. They are recognized for their inclusive, co-creative, and collaborative practices aimed at opening the creative process to anonymous individuals, groups, and communities who wish to participate. The goal of their creation is not only the production itself but also leading empowering creative processes through which participants gain new knowledge and skills. The resulting products are expressions of co-creation, intertwining various practices and personal internal processes.

The event is free of charge. We recommend registration for easier coordination.

The O2OOP exhibition and accompanying events were created in co-production with the Rog Center and the Biennial of Textile Art BIEN (Zavod Carnica) and with financial support from the Municipality of Ljubljana (MOL) and the ACF Program (in Slovenia 2014-2021).
