With Gracia Dyer Jalea
What stories do your clothes tell? Inspired by Projet Friperie, this interactive workshop invites participants to explore fashion as a form of storytelling through the clothes we wear, keep, inherit, and choose. Together, we’ll reflect on identity, culture, community, and sustainability while discovering Montreal’s vibrant second-hand scene and circular fashion economy. The workshop concludes with a community clothing swap, where participants can exchange garments and the stories that come with them.
Bring one or two clean, gently used garments to swap, and be ready to share the story behind them.
