Why do we wear what we wear, and what stories do our clothes tell?  

Through creative collaboration, we’ll reflect on how clothing shapes our personal and collective identities. 

Together, we’ll explore creatively and collaborate to produce outputs such as short dance videos, collages, textile work, writing pieces and more to create an interactive installation that will be shared with the wider community in Southeast London and Leeds.  

We especially welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community to join us in this queer-run, inclusive space. Whether you’re an artist, a storyteller, a fashion-enthusiast or just curious to explore your creativity or pick up a new skill, this is your chance to share your unique perspective and be part of an exciting creative collaboration. We want to hear your stories!
