This contribution will consist of the panel discussion "Dress and Become”, which will use a transnational and transdisciplinary methodology to explore the relationship between dress, identity and the deconstruction of gender and colonialism in Latin America.
Our aim is to generate a political and situated dialogue in Latin America that facilitates the convergence of studies, practices and activism in fashion and clothing, decoloniality and anti-colonialism, queer theory and gender dissidence to analyze the colonial-capitalist context as a common issue. Thus, we challenge each panelist to present both oppressive processes and practices as well as processes and practices of agency and subversion to the canon that enable the activation of emancipated futures from the present.
We take the opportunity offered by the GFA24 to disseminate practices that problematise colonial racist and binary legacies from the micro-political, everyday and embodied discourse of clothing. The panel will be mainly in Spanish, with translation into English to include other coalitions and RCDF's international network.
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 fashioning practices and heritages.
GFA was initiated in 2021 by the Research Collective on Decoloniality & Fashion (RCDF), a not-for-profit organisation registered in the Netherlands.
