Cut from the Same Cloth – Get Together
Are you a woman who values meaning and personal connection in your wardrobe?
Do you yearn to explore the stories woven into your clothes and discover garments that resonate with your unique narrative?
If so, join us for a unique and empowering workshop:
"Cut from the Same Cloth-Get Together" is a gathering of women in a community setting to share stories about the fabrics in our lives. Cloth plays a role in family traditions and cultural customs. We want to hear about your personal connections to particular pieces of cloth. We would like to share the stories behind the patterns seen inside the body during health research – the cloth-like soul of cells.
"Cut from the Same Cloth-Get Together", proudly presented by the UCD Conway Institute (https://www.ucd.ie/conway/) in collaboration with The Venezuelan Community in Ireland (VCI).
This workshop goes beyond fashion to weave together personal stories and cultural exchange, aligning with VCI's strategic goal of “Integration of Latin American in Ireland”.
