☝️Marishka Soekarna (ID/NL) for Wobby.club and Sunflower Soup present: Wobby #38 - Unpave the Way

Marishka Soekarna is the cover artist of Unpave the Way. Marishka is a visual artist from Indonesia, who recently moved to the Netherlands. She tells us that the opportunity to create the cover of Wobby has been a new start for her. “I'm learning something new, adjusting to the new ecosystem, making new friends, and enjoying every process of it.”

“My father is an outdoorsy guy and a green thumb, so I grew up in a house that felt like a jungle,” Marishka says. “As an introvert, that ‘jungle’ was my playground and I had many ‘pet’ friends as my companions. I have fond memories of it. I've always felt a connection with nature; it tremendously gives me peace, but it also terrifies me in some ways.”

🌱Join us next Thursday 20 June De Pont museum for the final PUNCH. event of the season, hosted by Wobby.

On this evening, we will launch our newest issue Wobby #38 – Unpave the Way, the second issue created in collaboration with a guest curator, Sunflower Soup, a collective that explores collaborative action through art and activism. Wobby #38 features an array of pieces that delve into themes of environmental activism, social justice, and the power of community.

For this issue, Sunflower Soup and Wobby facilitated workshops with residents of Landpark Assisië, a home for people with mental disabilities near Tilburg. The workshops resulted in drawings spread throughout this issue in both individually and collectively made pages. During the PUNCH event, members of Sunflower Soup will also be hosting several drawing workshops inspired by the theme ‘Unpave the Way’.

Multidisciplinary artist Tommy Smits will guide you through the program and will talk with artists from Wobby #38. Tommy followed a residency at Landpark Assisië in 2023, at the initiative of Wobby. During PUNCH., we will also be showing work made during this period.

Marishka Soekarna is both the cover artist for Wobby #38 and the DJ of the evening. She is a visual artist from Indonesia. Graduated in printmaking, her work represents a delicate interplay between introversion and the quiet beauty of self-intimacy, a personal narrative in moments of vulnerability and curiosity that existed in harmony with the surroundings.
