Globe Aroma is our favourite neighbour. We are therefore delighted that they and our affiliated artist Hana Miletić have been collaborating this year on the txt, Is Not Written Plain project.

About Globe Aroma

Globe Aroma is an open arts centre in Brussels, where newcomer artists and the art world come together. Every year, Globe Aroma invites a professional artist for a residency. The artist completes an artistic trajectory accompanied by a diverse group of participants.

About txt, Is Not Written Plain

Hana Miletić has been working at Globe Aroma with a group of women since the beginning of 2017. They have been meeting up on a regular basis for a series of text and textile workshops, which they have shaped together. During these workshops, they shared their experiences spanning several generations, broadened each other’s perspectives and expanded each other’s testimonies. 

In that time, text became a material compiled by many hands, stitched together and frayed apart with tenderness and care. Textile provided the group with the time they needed to consider the metaphorical meaning of it in society with attention and feeling.

txt, Is Not Written Plain (draft I) is an installation made up of felted cloths and poetic texts, produced by the group at one and the same table. The correlating cloths and poems bare testimony to their involvement in social fabrics in the shape of responsibility and affection.

About Hana Miletić

Born in present-day Croatia, Hana Miletić currently lives and works in Brussels. In her work, she examines the vestiges and upheavals of political changes, focussing on the formation of subjectivity, on an individual and societal level. Her multiform practice includes sculptures, textile, performances, prints, workshops and writing.
