Princesa
Marian van der Zwaan
“Princess” is an installation developed with the participation of women from the Roma community, focusing on the issue of child marriage. The project involved the creation of a wedding dress made from a red rope, with the rope serving as a symbol and a connecting thread for social inclusion.
The dress was created together with the Roma women, who contributed both to the hands-on making process and to the creative development of the piece. Throughout the process, conversations about marriage served as the main source of inspiration for the design.
These conversations were conducted with deep respect for the perspective of the Roma community, free from prejudice or judgement, while valuing their traditions and the voices of these women.
