Bodies that make, bodies that consume 👭🏾 Repost • @fash_rev From a distance, this rail of white cotton shirts appears clean, identical, conformist. But a closer look reveals a darker truth about the fashion industry. This installation reflects on material residues as workers' truth, the deep-rooted voids of erasure of textile and clothing manufacture workers’ conditions. Residue becomes displaced memory, traces of evidence and ruins connected to the process of industrialisation of countries of the global south: Colombia, South Africa and Indonesia. These stories told visually and through audio interviews explore how excessive (if not inhumane) labour conditions on local peoples has acted as a form of colonisation of land, bodies, environments and experiences. The co-creators Santiago Útima, Siviwe James, Widi Asari and Riyadhus Shalihin hope to bridge the gap between ‘the hands that make’ and the ‘bodies that consume’ with a desire of addressing the various emotional and physical situations labourers endure, including ‘care instructions’ that implore us to practice solidarity when we dress. Visit the exhibition at the @stateoffashionnl biennale in Arnhem, co-curated by @fashionopenstudio and @not_enough_collective. #FashionRevolution #WhoMadeMyClothes #IMadeYourClothes #WhoMadeMyFabric
