library@orchard presents a Resident: Inclusive Fashion talk on Will & Well's Entrepreneurship Journey with Elisa Lim.
Cripping Masculinity explores how Disability, Deaf, and Mad Identified Men (Cis or Trans) and Masculine Identified Non-Binary People create and experience their identities through clothing in their everyday lives.
On April 7, join members from the Cripping Masculinity team for a conversation with members from their community. They will engage with the relationship between Deafness, Madness, Disability and fashion, uncovering clothing as a tool for identity formation, resistance and community building.
This event will centre the often hidden and forgotten conversations in the fashion industry, highlighting space for development and social change.
