Groundwerk: Fashion and Identity

About

In this workshop led by fashion designer Mamady Diana, we will look at the influences that have shaped his theory of style, including contemporary art, music and dance influences. We will consider our own approaches to styling and dress, and will experiment with pre-loved clothes courtesy of Croydon Community Clothes Exchange.

This workshop is open to all but booking is essential, as spaces are limited. If you have any access needs that you would like to discuss with us in advance of the session, please get in touch: holly@turf-projects.com

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice. This workshop is supported by Arts Council England.

How do our tickets work?

For our workshops & events we offer the majority of tickets free and then offer donations-based tickets after that. Free tickets go fast! We’d encourage you to book a donations-based ticket if you’re able to, to leave as many free tickets as possible available for those who could most benefit from them. Donations tickets can be as little as £1.
