How do you make/ hack your wardrobe to make it fully celebrate the intersection of all of your identities?
Join Mason Exhibitions Arlington and Rebirth Garments on Saturday, October 21, 12-2pm. We will explore the idea of Radical Visibility, a Disabled Queer dress reform movement based on highlighting the parts of us that society typically shuns.
What to bring: your own clothes (nothing will be permanently altered)
Materials list:
No sew creative dressing:
Clothing /your closet (nothing will be altered)
Your body!
Optional: safety pins
Garment generator game:
Paper
Marking tools (colorful ones are most fun)
The Founder of Rebirth Garments, Sky Cubacub, will be doing interactive draping demos using a no sew method of designing in our own closets, to promote creativity and imagination. We will play with Sky’s surrealist Garment Generator Game to brainstorm drawing up new designs through fun constraints. By centering our joy and our identities, we can send the message that disabled queers deserve accommodations not just in terms of mobility but also in terms of our expression and our right to be seen.
