Abstract

This article tries to construct a language for my own artistic work with embroidery. Narrative stiches of a young life that was worldly and well traveled into other cultures and norms. About interracial marriage, sickness and living a life less ordinary. Inclusion and exclusion. The connection between body, soul and mind. Art as experience. I look at how these stories and experiences formed my identity with the optics of the German Bildung tradition. Through artistic research and didactics I look into why it is the quality of the embroidery that does so. And will this be transferable to give the youngsters in my multicultural community a way to express their own transcultural lifes.
