The Stedelijk Museum recently acquired Bodil Ouédraogo's work "My Hair, a Border" for the exhibition Tomorrow is a Different Day. Ouédraogo uses fashion in her work as point of departure. She is informed by connections she finds after thoroughly examining different cultural aspects that at first glance seem to be far apart. These connections are often personal and intimate. Ouédraogo sees the self as one big connected web in which all different threads together are what makes it whole. This idea of identity is the core of her work.

After a breathtaking performance at the Stedelijk Museum in 2020, she collaborated with streetwear brand Patta to create a collection during Amsterdam Fashion Week. This collection combined themes such as Afro Modernism, West African couture and African diaspora streetwear from Ouédraogo’s own context.

We look forward to seeing you on either the 24th of 25th of February!
