Die goldene Eiche (The Golden Oak) is a book created by the collective Frauen machen Druck (Women Putting Pressure) containing sixteen stories of resilience written by migrant women. All the illustrations in the book are made using the linoleum cut technique, the graphic medium that unites us.
We have been working on this beautiful project for the past year and are very proud of the result.
We would love for you to join us in celebrating the book launch on 23 January at 7 p.m. in the Atrium of Spore Initiative. Aongside of a small exhibition of the illustrations, we will offer a print workshop station and will read a selection of the stories.
You are also warmly invited to register for a Linocut Workshop for girls from 12 years on:
Workshop
4:00 – 7:00 pm
Participants: Girls from 12 years on, with registration.
In three hours we will develop an image using the linocut technique. We wish to share the process in which the book was made and reflect together about resilience in a migrant context.
