Elien Verschueren — OUDOUDERS
28.08.2025–​31.08.2025

Elien Verschueren (°1989, Belgium) is an Antwerp-based visual artist & resident at Broedplaats Borrewater. She enjoys working with materials she used as a child, such as coloured pencils, markers and air-dry clay. Her deep familiarity with these materials encourages an intuitive exploration in the process of creating images.

Curious about family members she never met she searches for ways to connect with her ancestors. OUDOUDERS is her first solo show and consists of visual work about predecessors and blood ties, an audio meditation with a visualisation exercise in various mother tongues and an open invitation for visitors to give a place to their ancestors.

On Thursday 28 August, the four-day exhibition will be inaugurated during The Field Within, a meditation session & workshop as a relaxed and atmospheric opening of the exhibition. The session starts at 10:30 and ends at 12:00. There is room for 15 people, make sure to register here. At 13:00, the exhibition will open to the public.
