Angelica Falkeling, 'What We Are Made Of' (The Hoodie) by Het Nieuwe Instituut published on 2019-12-02T12:53:24Z Together under The Hoodie, Het Nieuwe Instituut and curator Lou Stoppard have invited a range of artists to respond to the themes of the project with a new work created from their own individual perspective and practice. In their mixed-media installation What We Are Made Of, Angelica Falkeling looks at cotton: the material most hoodies are made from. In this work dealing with one of the most-used ‘raw materials of our everyday lives’, Falkeling uses audio and sculptural elements to explore the cotton industry’s impact on the societies it touches and our climate. This audio book follows Aida on a visit to her parents’ farm near Nukus in Uzbekistan, where her family is forced to work in the cotton fields on a seasonal basis. We also visit Mike, an LA-based musician, and the Vienna-based influencer Cassandra who is 80% pro-vegan and ‘trying to be against fast fashion, but she might be addicted,’ Falkeling explains.
