Artists’ meeting
Do you, as an artist, feel that you sometimes lack context?
Do you want to meet other artists in different art fields (visual arts, sculpture, theatre, photography, literature, music, etc.), find new collaborations, brainstorm ideas or do you just long to meet other like-minded people and talk over a cup of coffee in a creative environment?
Then this meeting is something for you.

ARTISTS IN BRIEF:
“Most of my works presented are a form of interrogation of the present where my fictional narrative stories, based on real socio- economic facts, try to (re)produce an emotional rather than rational response of the audience regarding the information presented. Each image is presenting aspects of life, mostly related with the period of economical and identity crises which Europe is confronting lately. ” Dragos Alexandrescu
ENG
Moa Cederberg is a textile artist based in Malakta, Ostrobothnia. She holds a bachelor’s degree in visual arts from Novia University of Applied Sciences and has also studied textiles at Nyckelviksskolan in Stockholm.
In her work, she walks a tightrope between traditional textile craft techniques and other forms of expression. By allowing these to collide, she explores complex identities and interpersonal relationships.
Her work has previously been shown at Gallery Sinne and Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art. In 2025, she will participate in the BIEN textile biennial in Slovenia.
