Ffasiwn

Our latest exhibition Ffasiwn is a socially engaged, anti-fashion photography project shaped through long-term collaboration. Developed over more than a decade, It’s Called Ffasiwn sits between style led image making and documentary practice, challenging assumptions about who fashion is for and who gets to shape the way communities are seen. Rather than observing from a distance, the work is created through sustained relationships, shared making and collaboration, with young people acting as creative partners throughout the process.

At its core, the project is about authorship and agency. Photography, styling and performance become tools for experimentation, expression and confidence - not markers of status or industry belonging. The images are shaped collaboratively, rooted in familiar places and everyday experience, and informed by the perspectives of those directly involved.

By blending style led sensibilities with documentary approaches, Ffasiwn offers a contemporary, community led way of seeing Wales. It invites audiences to engage with photography and fashion as living, collaborative practices - shaped by real people, in real places, on their own terms. Our public programme is generously supported by players of Postcode Lottery.
