This project invited engagement in intimate conversations that explored personal histories, embodied experiences, and the importance of oral storytelling in preserving cultural identity.
Family Gatherings
These workshops were tailored for families and children. They were structured with guided exploration of personal narratives and creative activities led by Nabiséré Nicole.
Community Gatherings
Participants had the opportunity to interact with the artist in an informal setting, making these sessions perfect for anyone looking to explore style and identity through a community-focused lens.
Join the Conversation
Throughout the weekend, participants were invited to reflect on key questions like:
- What stories do your clothes carry?
- How does migration, community, and tradition shape your self-expression?
- What impact has the environment had on how you express yourself through style
Optional Oral History Recordings
There were opportunities to book time slots to record personal stories, creating an ongoing legacy of shared experiences. These recordings contributed to a living archive, celebrating the rich stories that shape our cultural identities.
Food & Drink
A selection of food and beverages was available at all gatherings.
