Manchester Identity: Unworn
Location: Manchester Art Gallery, Mosley Street, Manchester, M2 3JL
This is a pop-up clothes swap event with a difference!
You are invited to bring your unwanted garments for swapping but also bring along treasured clothes (not for swapping!) to share your stories of why you love them. A collectively created story tree will then take shape.
This event is interactive and aims to give women a creative space where they can share their stories through the lens of fashion. Participants can update their wardrobe by swapping clothes, have fashion styling advice on site, and have a chance to do a fashion photo-shoot to capture the moment.

This event is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science.
Time: 11.00am - 2.00pm
