An exploration with filmmakers, artists, and scientists on how fashion moves societal challenges. What are the possibilities of where critical fashionable bodies can take us, new imaginaries, better worlds? Within Fashion Moves there are 3 curated sections: 1- films that reconsider production, consumption, and waste in our current complex moment. Speculative representations of better worlds for the fashion industry to imagine and work towards. 2- films that present a lively moving fashion body that encounters a world of many worlds from microbial entanglements to more than human spirit animals to biohacking. 3. DIY Feminist & non-binary self-expressive fashion films mad through spontaneous socially mediated ways of pop music, styling, and choreography such as Tiktok, etc.
The representation of Black people in cinema is often perceived as ambivalent, altered, and shaped by common prejudices. How does it translate into the construction of the Black identity?
Education on sustainability may have yet to yield tangible and long lasting results, the importance of visual narratives cannot be underestimated when it comes to uniting publics around the values that need to eclipse the waste and excess and exploitation of leadership solely concerned with profitability. People’s engagement and motivation to understand and protect the world around them has made industries like fashion, for instance, come under extreme scrutiny, and this program explores the “green wave” of filmmaking that is playing a role in shifting how we perceive these industries.
