Joyce Overheul is a political visual artist working mainly in the textile arts. Having grown up in an environment where it’s not a given that everyone is treated equally, she makes work about women’s rights, feminism, emancipation and inequality dynamics. Overheul uses mainly fabric-related techniques, including sewing, embroidery and bead weaving. Formerly widely regarded as ‘women’s hobbies’, these forms of expression are now being reclaimed as serious forms of art.
