Since 2018, there has been an exploration between RCMC and Rajae El Mouhandiz to work on special projects as RCMC Extended Family in Rotterdam. RCMC, meanwhile, enthusiastically followed the Modest Fashion exhibition. Ellae has since been in talks with RCMC, the institute for research of material culture, to set up a co-creation project in Rotterdam, looking at the World Museum collection from a female lens.

"Art She Crafted" is an examination of the historical space of creative women, from the lens of Embroidery and contemporary blends in visual art. 

In particular, we look at crafts that were performed by women from different cultures, generations and different socioeconomic positions. At the Modest Fashion exhibition , Rajae looked at the space women were allowed to take in the arts 100 years after female suffrage through art and fashion. Now we are going to look back at the historical space women were allowed to take artistically and especially look for and question blind spots.
