Fighting fascism through fashion, hacking white supremacy

we invite you to provoke change! we are facing an almost global shift to the far-right. from a critical fashion research perspective,we’ve been observing this political development also on a vestimentary level – “fashion has been weaponized” (givhan, 2017) if this upsets you, too - this workshop gives you the opportunity to hack current cultures of hate via fashion! let’s craft and design against fascist fashion and create visual counter narratives. our workshop fosters a forward-thinking and future-oriented level of democratic fashion practice that aims at reducing violence, racism, hate and radicalization as a counter action to the rise of contemporary far-right extremism in many countries worldwide. together we will work on fashion based counter strategies to contemporary authoritarianism, far-right extremism. join us, team up and collaborate! in our workshop we will fight for global and racial justice. we will be forging a bold vision: together we create hacking strategies from different positions/locations in the world.
Together we will create short videos for “tik tok”, as well as for open source use on the GFA website, that inform about fashion and fascism, and set counteractions though our fashion-hacks and counter-images crafted by hand as well as though various media technologies.
