Virtual Fashion Show: come dressed in seams that feel sacred to you
WATCH NOWMeetup Discussion
This month, we are coming together to overview the importance of
what people wear and how we dress. People first wore clothing to survive
and inhabit extreme climates, but this functionality evolved overtime into what we
unconsciously consume as trends.
Halloween brings up a larger discussion of what it means to dress up. We are
gathering to investigate the difference between costume and sacred garments.
The decisions we make when putting clothes on our bodies says a lot about our
relationship with and understanding of the world, our own identities, and cultures.
There is a lot of meaning in what we wear, especially when it comes to ritual,
community and communication amongst groups of people
This meetup will deepen our knowledge about how to respect what is sacred.

DID YOU KNOW?
Adults dressing up for Halloween was made popular in the 1970s by the San Francisco
gay communtiy, enlivening Halloween as a holiday of self-expression and liberation.
The different colours, embroidery patterns, length of sleeves, thicknesses of the obi, and amount of
layers of a kimono reflect seniority, marriage status, season, and occasion of who is wearing
it, as well as the history of Japan.
In some Indigenous tribes the use of eagle feathers was restricted as they were
only to be worn by warriors and leaders. Other tribe members would not wear
eagle feathers in their headbands.
The Mixed Space is Proud to Present...

October’s Meetup celebrated Halloween early as we discussed Halloween costumes and how they have been shaped over time, especially by the LGBTQIA+ community. As fun as Halloween is to many, it’s not fun when your culture is mocked and degraded by someone who has no context...
