Expo Broekenhuis

2026

 Traject exhibition opened its doors in the former Broekenhuis in Heist op den Burg. Every year, the Zwaneberg Cultural Centre runs ‘Traject’ to create exhibition opportunities for visual artists from the region. Four up-and-coming artists were selected from our open call: Alexandra Fraser, Mieke Geuëns, Amber Henderikx and Dieuwke Raymaekers.

For Traject in situ I developed my themes of embodiment into a kind of spider-feminism. In important identity-forming spaces, from folktales and to cyberspace, other bodies are presented in monstrous, animalistic forms. I subvert this, understanding myself as a spider- witch.  I I created webs for safety and objects from artificial hair. Tactile textile pieces offer open-ended narratives celebrating nature through human stories. Through this work, Alexandra acknowledges her body as part of a larger eco-system and embodied creative practice as something primal and central to our existence.
