Wardrobe Solution Specialist is in the House! Redesign, Reuse and Redefine What It Means to Rethink Your Style

Location: Burney Garden

An interactive workshop that encourages participants to reflect on the weight of expectations. Start with a discussion on common expectations placed on women, where the group will reflect on how it feels to be in that situation (e.g. perfect wife, women prioritising family over career etc), the impact of these expectations on self-worth and the role men can play in supporting women who face these pressures. This can be followed by an activity where participants can write one quality or strength they feel contributes to their sense of self worth (men can write a quality they admire in women around them). These strengths can then be placed on a Surkhaab shaped mural/cutout (the bigger it is the better) and displayed somewhere centrally. Others can be encouraged to add on to this mural/cutout thing throughout the festival. We can also have an “action” section as well where we encourage participants to share one action they’ll commit to either for themselves or in support of others.

Location: Burney Garden What we wear becomes our skin and how we face the world . Our clothes become our armour and grace as we lead our forever evolving challenging lives. Why not put our best foot forward with an awareness that what I wear makes a huge impact on my definition of success.
