subjects for workshop

subject 1

Breaking the binary body paradigm

Relevance

• It covers the trends of body morphing and exploring physical sex and not spiritual gender. The next step of the gender battle.

• JWT intelligence - grotesque beauty, we recognise beauty as a way of transformation and individual expression

• Rise of matieres fecales collective throughout the years

• isamaya ffrench

• Rise in cosmetic procedures

• the reason for this movement come from boundaries society refuses to cross. We allow plenty of different types of cosmetic modification but we won’t accept crossing the lines of femininity or masculinity, in body parts, and we won’t accept the middle. The body is binary.

For whom?

Anyone although, funny enough we can separate the audience into two groups:

• The ones breaking the paradigm, shattered by stigma

• The ones keeping the paradigm alive, alienating others as they feel alienated by the breaking movement

Why both?

Because brands’s roles are shifting to both the therapist (JWT intelligence and trend watching), but also the creator of discomfort and play ( trend watching and WGSN)

Goal

To collaborate with artists and brands on a product range. Making it artistic fits in the creative narrative that newer generations are aiming for. (WGSN)
