For those of you who haven’t read our #FunThings guide to what’s on (link in our bio) there’s a very special, very important event taking place this afternoon at Auckland Central City Library in Tāmaki Makaurau. 💚 ⁠ The Fashioning Assembly Hui Auaha o Aotearoa will present a significant series of workshops and talks exploring the kaupapa and mahi of decolonising the fashion landscape. Coordinated by Doris de Pont of the New Zealand Fashion Museum @nzfm, the hui is part of @globalfashioningassembly 2022.⁠ Taking place from 1pm until 6pm today, head along to the library or watch the live stream via Zoom (registration is koha, via Eventbrite.com). The fantastic lineup features inspiring and influential local thinkers, makers and creatives — all sharing knowledge, skills and reflecting on the powerful role fashion and adornment play in shaping identity and challenging power structures and in Aotearoa.⁠ Viva creative and fashion director @danahwa will discuss decolonising fashion media with @dorisdepont, and the incredible schedule also includes talks and workshops from the likes of @kirinathan, @pacificsisters, @jeanineclarkin_official, Dr Bobby Luke of @campbell_luke_, Steven Junil Park 박준일 @6x4online, @rowanpantherlace, @houseofiman_ and more.⁠ The Fashioning Assembly Hui Auaha o Aotearoa is taking place as part of the Global Fashioning Assembly 2022, a coming together of global fashion makers around the world, spanning disciplines and geographical boundaries, it spans 36 hours of worldwide events, over three days — offering the connection, sharing and learning that we need now more than ever, as culture and the fashion industry consider the past and future.⁠ #globalfashioningassembly #gfa22 Image / @nzfm
