Archiving the Invisible: Exploring Emotional Clothing

Free, Booking Required

Front Row, founded in 2023 by Tara Mabiala and Camille Farrah Buhler, develops a curatorial and editorial practice around fashion, producing events, interviews and archival projects and was awarded the 2024 Swiss Design Award.

This two-part workshop invites participants to bring an emotionally significant garment and to document its traces—wear, stains, labels, memories—through image, text, drawing, video, collage and movement. The group then reflects on collective archiving and devises forms of public restitution based on participants’ intentions.
