Anouk Beckers experiments in modular thinking and design as a way to open up seemingly fixed structures. Most of her research-based works revolve around collectivity and results from collaborations with makers and thinkers from various fields. The work is ranging from workshops to publications and installations. Anouk initiated the open source modular clothing system JOIN Collective Clothes (2019) and a series of wearable fashion magazines Booklook (2022). In 2023–2024 Anouk participated in the residency program at Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (NL). The work she developed during this research period, disassembles compositions into individual parts and steps. In re-shaping and shuffling various components, she explores how these elements, as well as structures, could be changed or reimagined. Openings in their design become invitations to interact with and engage collaboratively with the systems to which they belong.
Anouk studied Textiles and Fashion at Gerrit Rietveld Academie (NL) and Social Psychology at Utrecht University (NL).
