Dressing as an act of becoming
Sunday 22 February 2026 at 1:00PM
The Dowse Art Museum
Event Description
Steven Junil Park will share his experience of discovering identity through dress and invite participants to do the same through gentle exercises of reflection.
When dressing our bodies is to navigate an industry fraught with environmental, social, and ethical issues, how can we find joy and self-expression through the clothing that we wear? Let us explore our relationships to the clothing we already own: leaning into the rich emotional, social, memorial, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of what clothing can mean to us, rather than the standards the industry offers.
For this workshop you are invited to bring an item of clothing that is significant to you in any way.
The workshop will be divided into parts, please feel free to come for some or all parts of the workshop!
1:00pm - 2:00pm Introduction and talk
