Women of Schiedam

Women of Schiedam

In 2025, Schiedam celebrates its 750th anniversary. In honor of this event, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam,  decided to plce a spotlight on the women who have shaped and continue to renew this city throughout the centuries. 

The exhibition “Women of Schiedam: 750 Years of Struggle, Work, and Relationships”, pays tribute to their strength—from the past to the present, across all layers of society, and their impact on shaping Schiedam today. 

 In a series of gatherings, a diverse group of ten women from Schiedam engaged in conversations with one another. These meetings revealed not only their determination and missions within the city but also four key roles that define the ‘modern Schiedam woman’: the woman at home, at work, in society, and for herself. Their missions, stories, and these roles are central to the City Gallery of the museum.

One of these women is Aida Kasaei, talented designer, artist and enterpreneur. In adittion to partaking in the exhibition, she organized series of  Open Sewing Workshops during which, women worked together on three beautiful, collaborative wall hangings.

The finished wall hangings will become part of the exhibition.

You’re warmly welcome to drop by whenever it suits you and stay as long as you like. No registration is required.

Textile as a Powerful Symbol

The countless stitches and threads on the back of the wall hangings reveal how these works are made by many hands. The use of textiles also holds a special meaning: it’s a well-known medium through which women have expressed themselves. Globally, women have often been the ones to create textiles. In the past, this was sometimes used as a way to keep women confined, to suppress them, or to teach them so-called “feminine values.” But women have also frequently used their textile skills as a means of self-expression and protest. And the more time-consuming the process, the more space there is for sharing stories and forming a strong network!
