Description
Social Uniforms uses the
concept of “uniforms” to explore and challenge the way people see themselves
and others. We believe in creating positive uniforms that nurtures deeper
connections within communities.
The (Un) Common Threads
embroidery workshop explores the concepts of personal narrative and how that
can be translated through clothes. In the (Un) Common Threads workshop,
participants will create a Scarborough uniform that narrates their personal
Scarborough stories. This will be done through embroidering their personal
narrative on the same colour shirt with the same colour thread. By the end of
this session, participants will learn that even though their stories are
different, there is still a common thread, connection and uniformity, between
them all.
