The thread is fragile, but it resists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is through this thread that Juliette Vanwaterloo opens her universe \u2014 one where fragility transforms into political strength. She anchors her gesture in a dual necessity: to reveal the violence of our world and to invent new narratives through material.<\/p>\n

Drawing from current images, often sourced from social media, she creates tapestries and embroideries where anger becomes thread, and thread becomes struggle. Hand embroidery, bobbin lace, tufting, and other textile techniques \u2014 traditionally associated with the domestic sphere \u2014 become, for Juliette Vanwaterloo, a response to erasure. She diverts textile practices to make them witnesses of the fractures of our time, but also tools of intersectional resistance.<\/p>\n

Each stitch marks our collective history, each surface becomes a site for restoring a counter-narrative. Her works \u2014 whether monumental tapestries or more intimate embroideries \u2014 combine the patience of the gesture with the urgency of the present. In uncompromising compositions, they poetically and precisely archive state violence, oppression, injustice, and the failure of obsolete social and political structures.
Text by Kyliana Hamour, committed art dealer<\/em><\/p>\n

After obtaining a Dipl\u00f4me National des Arts with a specialization in textile techniques in 2019 from the \u00c9cole d\u2019Art et de Design d\u2019Angers (FR), she continued her love for fiber arts with a master\u2019s degree in Tapestry\/Textile Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, graduating with distinction in 2021. Since then, she has received numerous awards: the Prize of the Minister of Higher Education of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Wallonie-Bruxelles at the BeCraft Prix Tremplin (2021), First Prize at the Prix Artistique de la Ville de Tournai (2023), First Prize in the ArtContest competition (2023), and the BPS22 Prize at the Prix M\u00e9diatine (2023). The latter led to her first solo exhibition, Tout Cramer<\/em>, curated by Doroth\u00e9e Duvivier at BPS22 (2024). Her work is also featured in numerous group exhibitions across France and Belgium.<\/p>\n
