This interactive workshop, led by Lithuanian fashion designer and researcher Justina Semčenkaitė, explores fashion as a language of identity, power, and self-expression. Drawing on feminist philosophy, sustainability, and activist practice, the session invites participants to critically reflect on what clothing communicates within social and cultural contexts.
The workshop begins with visual references and discussion, examining how fashion operates within systems of consumption, identity formation, and activism. In the hands-on part, participants will create their own wearable manifesto — a personal protest object — using a range of simple materials.
Combining critical thinking with practical experimentation, the workshop offers tools to move from passive consumption towards conscious expression.
