Clothing as art with
lou stoppard.

Join Lou Stoppard for a workshop where you will look at the way that artists have interacted with fashion within their practices and create your own artwork using a piece of your clothing as a reference!


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• A piece of clothing that means something to you
• Paper
• Pen or pencil



Lou’s workshop will draw on research from The Hoodie, an exhibition Lou curated last year which looked at the debates around this controversial garment, and the way in which artists have used the hoodie within their work, as a conduit to discuss the broader issues that surround it; racism, surveillance, youth culture, inequality, amongst many others. This workshop will look more generally at the relationship between fashion and art, and the way our garments become loaded vessels that can communicate a myriad of ideas. As much as fashion designers are often inspired by artists when crafting their collections, so too do artists draw on clothing when making work, particularly as a result of its connection to self expression.
