A Story Of Unfolding Wings

Donate on voordekunst!

A Story Of Unfolding Wings is a short art film, an animation composed of woven frames, celebrating the life-changing years behind me. I feel like a butterfly emerged from its chrysalis! An artistic representation of the joy and importance of transitioning, and a positive shout-out in response to negative outings in the media and politics about trans people. Trans is love! 

Wonderful if you want to donate, and please spread the words! I would love to make A Story Of Unfolding Wings happen!

What do you get in return by donating?
To make the film I will weave meters and meters fabric in the colorful patterns I love to weave. After photographing these to turn them into animation, I reuse the fabric by making small to large weaving artworks for you. So if you donate you get an art-weave in return.

And actually I realized that now only a small part of the weaves I make will be turned into reuse this way, so I will give double the size of weaves as explained in the perks!

So watch my video at voordekunst, it has english subs! And if you want to support this project, please do so by selecting one of the perks. At the bottom of the Dutch text I explained the perks in English. You have to scroll even further to actually select a perk! After the campaign is over I will send out a small questionnaire if you want your name added to the credits.
