This Saturday, April 18th, we’re starting the
Bellvitge 2065 Speculative Sewing Workshop
with
Jess Espinoza
!
How will we dress in the future? Well, that will depend on what the future is like… or… will it be the other way around? Can our way of dressing influence the development of future events? We don’t know, but with this workshop we intend to speculate on what Bellvitge could be like in the year 2065, inventing possible futures and designing their corresponding costumes (or vice versa).
For example, in this guise that you see Sean Connery in the poster, Christel Kruse Boorman imagined that we would dress in 2293, the year in which the film
Zardoz
(John Boorman, 1974) is set, for which Christel Kruse Boorman was the costume designer, which showed a post-apocalyptic planet Earth in which humanity is divided between Eternals (immortals) and Brutals (mortals).
The workshop will last for 8 sesiones weekly every Saturday from April 18 to June 6, from 11 AM to 1 PM, and is completely free. No prior sewing knowledge is necessary 😉
