UAL / Barbican Library

This mini exhibition at the Barbican Library celebrates the work of ‘Decolonising Fashion and Textiles’, a collaborative project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and led by Dr Francesco Mazzarella (Centre for Sustainable Fashion, London College of Fashion, UAL). With the mass displacement of people on the rise, Shifting Narratives responds to the urgent demand to address the diverse needs and aspirations of refugee communities, whilst valuing and sustaining their cultural heritages and craft skills. This exhibition challenges dominant design practice and brings to the forefront the stories of refugees and their collective visions for a more equitable and sustainable future.
