Embroidery Arts & Beyond

part of IMMEDIATE Fashion School 2019 Summer Intensive

The zine workshop will guide the series participants to develop a collective tangible documentation of the experiences and ideas that come out of the session. 

The series will focus on storytelling and its relationship to activism in the realms of gender and race. We’ll read about and discuss these two intertwined realms through the lens of fashion & cultural studies, while also considering intersectional views, politics, pop culture and activism.

Registration for IMMEDIATE opens in mid-May here
