On the eve of the inaugural Berlin design festival Currents, we are pleased to invite you to the opening of NARRATIVES OF MAKING — Contemporary Positions from Art and Collectible Design, marking the beginning of the festival programme.

Presented by MAJ VAN DER LINDEN, the exhibition brings together women working across contemporary art, collectible design, and material-based disciplines. Rather than defining strict categories, it celebrates the diversity of contemporary making and the many ways craftsmanship informs artistic and design practices today.

Each participant presents a distinct body of work shaped by individual materials, methods, and ideas. While some practices are rooted in sculpture or fine art and others in collectible design or functional objects, all share a deep commitment to craftsmanship as an essential part of the creative process. Making becomes a language for expression, research, innovation, and reflection.

Through material, process, and experimentation, the works reveal personal narratives alongside broader social and cultural questions. Together, they challenge conventional distinctions between art, design, and craft while opening new perspectives on contemporary material culture.

Presented in collaboration with Wohnen AM TACHELES and proudly part of the inaugural Berlin design festival Currents.
