Today we would like to invite you to a project by Tomoko Take (1970, Japan),
consisting of a workshop and a fashion show.
Japanese artist Tomoko Take, who is based in Amsterdam since 1997, works on
several long term projects dealing with the notion of art in public space.
Based on the understanding that small solutions can influence big problems,
her projects often touch upon social-political and cultural issues.
Last year Tomoko Take was selected for the prestigious Prix de Rome/Art and
Public Space, for which she developed the Homelesshome Project. In this
project she considered the position of homeless people and, specifically,
our feelings of 'home' en 'homelessness'.

Home, provides original design clothing to homeless people, and consists of
a workshop and a fashion show.
