Research Collective for Decoloniality & Fashion

Dear RCDF community,

We hope this message finds you all well in these troubling time of ongoing wars and the ever progressing deterioration of humanity and empathy. It makes us even more determined to nourish those decolonial cracks, however small and precarious.
 
With the new year, we have started a new series of monthly online Conversations on Decoloniality & Fashion on each first Thursday of the month with a slightly adjusted format. For this year’s programme, we chose to focus on a recurring topic, Designing Goods, Crafting Communities: What is Really Being Lost?, which is addressed each month by different moderators and their guests, from different parts of the world. Join us by registering on Eventbrite.

We are also in full preparation for our next Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2024 at 8-10pm CET, for which you can now register on Eventbrite. We are still welcoming short fashion film submissions, which can be submitted before 7 April 2024 through this registration form.

After a successful first run, we are organising a second series of our online six-week course on Decoloniality and Fashion starting 4 June 2024, with room for twenty participants, of which one scholarship. Registrations are now open on Eventbrite.

Meanwhile, the second edition of the Global Fashioning Assembly is in full operational mode, scheduled for October 2024. This time, twenty communities have committed to hosting the Assembly, worth of 40 hours of programming and 20 hours of Sharing Councils over a period of 10 days. We are still looking for people to join the production team, so if you are interested you can reach out.
