We invite you to join us as we share some of the fashion content, stories, and conversations from our community at our Open Day.
About this Event

The New Zealand Fashion Museum is a digital first museum that provides a platform and umbrella for all things fashion in Aotearoa (New Zealand). With no fixed physical location or collection its activities and stories are developed in response to the concerns of the day and the questions and needs of its audiences. Our primary source for all content is the community which makes for a collaborative and multi-vocal museum model bringing together objects and knowledge held by individuals and by working with institutions like libraries, universities, and museums to share their collections, archives, and even their spaces.
For the Global Fashioning Assembly (GFA24), we are holding this ‘Open Day’ and inviting all who wish to engage with how we do our mahi (work), to come and experience it firsthand and in a real space. We are taking the opportunity of the GFA24 to share the decolonising kaupapa (principles) of our museum model, with a local audience and the international assembly.

The Global Fashioning Assemby (GFA) is a biennial online gathering of local fashion coalitions from around the world to decenter and decolonise knowledge creation and sharing on body fashioningpractices and heritages.

GFA was initiated in 2021 by the Research Collective on Decoloniality & Fashion (RCDF), a not-for-profit organisation registered in the Netherlands.
