Laura Linsig graduated from the University of Art and Design Halle with a MA in Conceptual Textile Design and a special focus on weaves. While studying at University of Fine Arts Hanoi, she developed an interest in the diverse usage and aesthetic perception of textiles within cultures. Through preserving textile methods, she sees a chance to renew appreciation for quality textiles.
In her works, Johanna Rogalla aims to stimulate dialogues and/or initiate a space for action in the subtle spaces in between. Her aesthetic reflects fragile moments, merging traditional textile techniques with contemporary approaches. Thematically, her subtle works are moulded by observations. Rogalla holds an MA in conceptual textile and has been working in textile collections in Jordan and Germany.
Mona Reich is a textile designer based in Halle (Saale) Germany, with BA and MA from art and design college Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule. She has a focus on weaving technics from handweaving to computer based jacquard weaves. In her studio she works with a semi electronic 24 heddle loom.
Her work always starts with the search for sustainable and unconventional material. In her previous work she has tested ways of material use both in woven samples and fabric as well as in conceptional research.
