During this curator’s tour, guest curator Eloise Sweetman will guide you through the Cobra textiles in the exhibition Wilde rokken: Cobra Art as Textile. A curator’s tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the exhibition through the eyes of the person who curated it: you’ll discover the ideas behind it, spot details you might otherwise miss, and gain special insights into the creative process, the use of materials, and the artists featured.
