The participatory methodology of the artist Evan J. Kirby and the curatorial collective NOT_____ENOUGH transform the GMK space as a place of exchange and dialogue outside the dominant system of doing and thinking about fashion, clothing, textiles and the body. Within the seven-day program, through a workshop and a participatory exhibition, we will collectively imagine new clothing experiences and alternative fashion ecosystems.

On Saturday 25th of June, JOIN collective hosted a workshop during the exhibition "Fashion as Encounters". JOIN Collective Clothes is an ongoing design and research project in which fashion is explored as a collective practice, focusing on designing and making clothes together. The JOIN modular clothing system is an open source design system, available for everyone and from everywhere in the world.

By downloading the templates from JOIN website, participants could send their pieces to be exhibited and joined with other clothes during “Fashion as Encounters”.

It was an amazing day with , the participants on site and the participants that join from other parts of the world. Thank you all very much! The work from that day (and the sent ones) were exhibited during the biennial and enriched the missing content carriers!

On the Friday 24th of June, Yun Lee & James Parnell gave the workshop BARTALK. The workshop invited the participants to build coalitions, explore and honor differences between and within unlikely partnerships through various exercises.

dh is a multidisciplinary lecture/performance/storytelling series curated by @ and .feels Since 2015, BARTALK has hosted events featuring presentations by guests in the fields of physics, philosophy, math, visual art, performance, movement, kink, music, poetry, radio, architecture, and design amongst others.

We are thankful to james parnell and Yun Lee for the lovely afternoon we had and for the participants that worked together that day. The results of the workshop were exhibited in the church together with the other works on display.

On the Saturday 18th of June, Circus Andersom & Denise Bernts gave the workshop Inti-mates. In the Inti-mates, they unravel the layers of the female underwear to invite the participants to reclaim and explore intimacy with their own body.

Inti-mates is a collaboration between the unifying disruptive organisation Circus Andersom and graphic designer and fashion researcher Denise Bernts. They have joined forces from the shared common ground and urgency to perform artistic research on the relationship ‘women’ have with their own bodies.

We are very thankful to and and all the participants for this day. We are very glad for their contribution to the exhibition as well as the participants.

Wei-Chi Su, Taipei, Taiwan,1997.
Centring the Vomit, 2022.

Wei-Chi Su is a critical fashion practitioner from Taiwan based in Arnhem. She explores how to redesign Western-dominated fashion educational practices and its effects on colonial aesthetics. She believes that recognising the differences will give us an option to confront the classification and ranking of people and regions which are the cornerstone of colonialism.

Centring the Vomit is a project that has a decolonial approach, challenging the cultural hierarchy in fashion design education. This project provides people, especially fashion students, with a self-organised educational method raising awareness of the dominant Eurocentric perspective.
