From 5th to 29th July, at the Barbican Library, the 'Shifting Narratives' exhibition will be showcasing the 'Decolonising Fashion and Textiles' project outputs curated by Camilla Palestra.
Over the past two years, I've been collaborating with researchers from the Centre for Sustainable Fashion at London College of Fashion on a project 'aimed at challenging the status quo and empowering refugee and asylum-seeking participants to build connections and voice their concerns for our collective uncertain future, while advocating for positive policy change.' - Dr Francesco Mazzarella and Dr Seher Mirza.
CSF researchers Dr Francesco Mazzarella and Dr Seher Mirza reflect on the 'Decolonising Fashion and Textiles' research project, explore valuable insights and share their new policy paper and petition.
Also on show, the series of portraits that I took in collaboration with Lucy Orta for the "Lifeline Activation" in the hopes to shift the mainstream narrative that negatively affects individuals and families seeking refuge and asylum in the UK and advocating for a more compassionate future.
You are invited to the exhibition's free public programme which includes guided exhibition tours, workshops and an in-person and online symposium.
