Women’s Objects by Marloes ten Bhömer
Let op: deze lezing is in het Engels! De overige lezingen in de serie zijn in het Nederlands
Marloes ten Bhömer is an independent designer, maker, researcher, and educator whose practice focuses on women’s footwear through technical, material, and cultural lenses. In her early work, she concentrated on reinventing the high-heeled shoe using experimental technologies and materials as a way to challenge clichéd fashion types and enable more diverse identity expression. Currently, her research explores how design and media shape the “high-heeled woman” as a cultural archetype, in turn informing a practice which aims to dismantle entrenched typologies that reinforce restrictive ideas about women’s social and physical mobility. Focusing on women and mobility is a way for Marloes to speak to the broader imbalances and injustices of the world.
The resulting objects and films sit disruptively between design, fashion, gender studies, dance choreography, technology, science, and media.
About this talk
In this talk Marloes will share examples from her practice and discuss how the relationship between technology, gender, and women’s objects can reveal deeper societal biases. While technology is often framed as rational and progressive, this narrative excludes women’s objects, which are purposefully under or de-valued within a techno-capitalist patriarchal society. In her work, she tries to express how women’s objects can function as technologies in gender performance, and how gender itself operates as a technology within these dynamics.
