Alma Teer (1997, NL) explores the intrinsic relationship between the body, identity, and culture. In her work, which often includes tangible objects, she focuses on the tactility of provocative materials in relation to the role of women in society. Alma’s research-based and conceptual approach plays a key role in this, as it creates new and speculative narratives around subjects that may initially seem unremarkable. Driven by her curiosity and background in contemporary jewelry, she challenges traditional notions of beauty and gender roles, while examining how women have been represented and perceived throughout history.
