All Work is Women’s Work recovers the forgotten history of Amsterdam’s seamstresses

Hanka van der Voet's "All Work is Women’s Work" project unearths the forgotten labour and political organizing of Amsterdam’s early 20th-century seamstresses. For emerging women artists, this initiative is a powerful call to action: your creative contributions, regardless of their perceived 'craft' status, hold immense historical and social value. Through radical publishing, research, and printed garments, Van der Voet powerfully demonstrates how art can reclaim overlooked narratives. It’s a vital reminder to champion your own work, ensure its significance is recognised, and collectively elevate the often-undervalued legacy of women's artistic endeavours. — Source: It's Nice That.
