This workshop for ages 13–18 explores how fashion can be used to challenge ideas, express identity and speak out. Inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s work, participants will look at pieces in the exhibition and discuss how clothing can communicate messages about power, protest and creativity. Art as Protest invites young people to respond to Westwood’s bold approach and explore fashion as a tool for self-expression and activism.
