Ginger hair is unique and it stands out. It is a defining physical characteristic and a form of self-expression whose societal view has evolved continuously over the past centuries. From sexualisation to mockery, science to history, De Rossistische Podcast dives in depth into what it means to be ginger and where 'gingerism', discrimination towards gingers, exactly comes from.
At the end of the day, everything that makes you different is something to be proud of. That's why De Rossistische Podcast and Recyclart are organising the first 'Ginger Art Festival' in Belgium. Come celebrate gingerhood on March 22nd with a ginger curated art fair, a screening of 2 short films, live dance and music performances and a Q&A with fragments of the podcast.

Oksana

Mon travail ? Créer un univers imaginaire où la faune, la flore sous-marine, les champignons et bien d'autres s'entremêlent dans une fusion organique. J'aime brouiller les frontières entre les espèces, explorant les transformations à travers le dessin, la gravure et la sculpture. Mes cheveux roux sont comme une première porte vers l'art, m'inspirant des tableaux préraphaélites. Il y a une bonne quantité de peintures de muses rousses où, même inconsciemment, ont pu me rendre fière de mes cheveux et vouloir appartenir à un monde où ils étaient mis en avant. Ils reflètent aussi mes émotions, s'affaiblissant quand je vais mal. Je les chéris, cherchant à retrouver leur éclat d'antan.

Robbe Schepens

J'ai grandi en Chine, où mes cheveux roux étaient considérés comme spéciaux et chanceux. Cela attirait beaucoup d'attention, mais lorsque je suis revenu en Belgique, j'ai été victime d'harcèlement à cause de mes cheveux roux. Cela m'a conduit à l'univers fantastique des bandes dessinées, où j'ai commencé à créer mes propres mondes. Mon art se concentre principalement sur l'illustration, mais j'aime aussi expérimenter la peinture, les médias numériques et les techniques graphiques telles que l'impression sur lino et l'impression au gel.

Leen Van Dommelen

Meet Leen Van Dommelen, a Belgian performance maker and visual artist based in Brussels. With a background in sculpture and a master's degree in visual art and choreography, her work revolves around performances and installations, inviting viewers into a vulnerable interaction with introspective themes.

"I'm fascinated by the connection between red hair and transparent skin, which creates an illusion of revealing one's inner self - the blue veins, the blush of embarrassment. This sense of the body 'betraying' the inner world has deeply influenced my identity as both an individual and an artist. I'm drawn to the idea of the 'uncontrollable body' - blushing, trembling, fainting, rapid blinking - and how attempts to suppress these reactions only amplify them. This tension between psyche and body, control and loss of control, inspires my exploration of how the inner world manifests in physicality. I delve into the mechanisms beneath the surface, navigating societal norms and expectations."

Je suis Maegan, la fondatrice d'une friperie en ligne où je partage ma passion pour les vêtements vintage depuis un an déjà. Depuis toujours, j'adore dénicher des pièces avec une histoire, que ce soit en les empruntant à ma mère ou en les récupérant de mes amies. Mais ce que j'aime encore plus, c'est de voir ces vêtements prendre vie sur d'autres personnes et les rendre trop stylées ! En ce qui concerne mes cheveux, j'ai longtemps hésité à les teindre, mais avec le temps, j'ai appris à aimer ma couleur naturelle, un roux auburn unique. Je la vois comme un héritage, avec sa dose de mystère puisqu'aucun de mes parents n'est roux

Otis

Based in Brussels, Otis is a belgo-english peotry performer. They mingle words fluidly from french to English, from spoken word to signing, exploring the themes of intimacy, healing, relationships and existence in a capitalist context. 

They studies acting at IAD and then developed their personal expression through dance, writing and singing. They are a member of the "Collectif Pèse-Moi", a slam collective composed of women and non-binary people. 

Ella Marion

From an early age, I went to the drawing academy Sint-Lucas in Ghent and later finished my secondary education there. I don't like woolly stories about art, my art is my hobby and was created to deal with stress. When I experience stress, I find peace in drawing, painting and modelling.
Both my parents are not gingers but my ginger can be explained as my father was an Englishman ( and part Scottish). In England, gingers are not exactly loved, at least, this is from my own experience. More so, during my birth, my father clearly pointed out again 'If it's a ginger, it certainly isn't mine!'. Jokes on you dad!

Roos-Marie van den Bogaard

For the past two years, I've been immersed in drawing, experimenting with various materials and styles. Currently, I'm drawn to contrasts, textures, geometric shapes, and primary colors. My art is fueled by daily life and reflections on social phenomena. I love depicting people, exaggerating expressions and features to convey stories and emotions.

Growing up, I was surrounded by graphic design and printing press due to my father's work, and I've always valued artistic expression in my education. This background has fueled my passion for creativity and visual storytelling. In the future, I aspire to collaborate with projects promoting social justice and awareness through visual art.

 

Dovydas Strimaitis

Meet Dovydas Strimaitis, a Lithuanian dancer and choreographer based in France and Belgium. His works delve into questioning dance history and future, exploring the relationship between dance content and context. In his upcoming piece "Hairy 2.0", he places his hair at the forefront, examining its role as both subject and object in dance. Hair, unlike other body parts, cannot be moved voluntarily, posing a challenge in choreography. This tension of controlling the uncontrollable is the essence of "Hairy 2.0".


Née à Paris en 1997, Olga Boisnard est entourée par une famille travaillant dans l’image, ce qui crée rapidement une passion pour la photographie.

Elle a commencé des projets de photographie numérique avec le projet « Submarine Skins », réalisé pour le talent show du lycée français de Bruxelles. Il prend forme à partir de photographies sous-marines prises par son père, Arthur Boisnard, puis projetées sur des modèles vivants, donnant ainsi naissance à des corps sous-marins.

Toujours attirée par la complémentarité des couleurs et des motifs, elle continue aujourd’hui principalement à l’argentique, photographiant son quotidien et ses découvertes.
