Wash ‘n Care: Community workshop with artist Meera Sethi

Join exhibiting artist Meera Sethi for a free workshop exploring her three-part, research-based project, Unskilled. This project examines the life cycle of clothing—from cotton seed to closet—and challenges the fast fashion industry by presenting garment care as a slow, participatory process. 

The workshop will also feature a participatory demonstration of Sethi’s Wash ‘n Care labels, which offer insights into garment care beyond just washing, drying, and ironing. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of environmental responsibility, workers' rights, and emotional connections to clothing. Each attendee will receive a Wash ‘n Care label and instructional card designed by Sethi. Please bring one item of clothing or fabric for discussion during the workshop.
