Juliette VanwaterlooBurn it all down

An activist artist considering feminist, ecological, and decolonial issues, Juliette Vanwaterloo (FR, 1998) creates embroideries, lace, tapestries, and textiles installations denouncing police violence. In opposition to the dominant narrative of the police, justice system, politicians, and certain media, she notably presents cop-watching videos broadcast on social media. Her artistic action involves the invention of counter-narratives constructed with soft, delicate, colourful materials imbued with a domestic history long attributed to women.

Juliette Vanwaterloo’s exhibition Burn it all down is part of the anniversary edition of the Prix Médiatine, established in 1983 by the Wolubilis Cultural Centre in Brussels.
