Exploring Cultural Identity through Clothing in the Context of Migration and Globalization

Weaving Identities

This project explores how cultural identity transforms through clothing in a globalized world, focusing on Aromanian/Vlach communities. It aims to revitalise their traditions and folklore clothing by blending traditional craftsmanship with modern fashion techniques and materials. It also invites others to reconnect with their roots through weaving and storytelling, offering a way to celebrate personal and collective cultural narratives.
