Michèle Boulogne

Michèle Boulogne is an artist and textile designer based in Amsterdam. Her research investigates how identity and cultural memory are shaped through spatial sciences. Drawing from the histories of textile and visual arts, she explores how distant geographies, astronomical phenomena, and large-scale natural events, often perceived as too remote, too vast, or too abstract to grasp, become embedded in material culture and collective memory. Influenced by her Caribbean heritage and space studies, her work often takes the form of visual collages, layered compositions that mirror fragmented histories and overlapping temporalities. She combines artisanal and industrial textile techniques such as weaving, knitting, and dyeing. Her practice frequently challenges dominant narratives and cartographic conventions, working with tools like remote sensing, weather imaging, and celestial observation.
