Fashion Fictions - Book Launch

Taking Place Friday 23 January

Come along to Mammoth to celebrate the launch of Fashion Fictions: Imagining Sustainable Worlds, a new open access book authored by Professor Amy Twigger Holroyd from Nottingham School of Art & Design.
Arising from the international participatory project of the same name, Fashion Fictions presents a kaleidoscope of crowdsourced responses to an open-ended prompt that asks participants to dream up and enact alternative fashion systems and examines common themes that can be identified in these responses, from nature and spirituality to language, togetherness and adaptation. 

This special evening will feature Amy talking about the book with Michelle Leonforte from Nottingham City of Literature; the screening of two short films that provide a window into two very different Fashion Fictions enactments; and the opportunity to get involved by remixing existing fictions to create your very own utopian fashion system.

Gentle, Angry Women + Q&A

Showing Saturday 31 January

A new generation of young female activists uncovers a powerful, often overlooked chapter of women's history and the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women - Poppy, Xanthe, and Evie - embark on a journey of discovery, following in the footsteps of over 30,000 women who forty years earlier united in peaceful, liberating protest, the remarkable Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement.

This coming-of-age documentary, driven by intergenerational dialogue, bridges past courage and present hope, speaking to the need for action and change.

After the screening, we will be joined virtually by the Director Barbara Santi for our discussion.

Mammoth Mending Workshop

Taking Place from Sunday 15 February

In this workshop Mammoth becomes a pop-up clothing repair salon, a welcoming place to bring your missing buttons, holey socks, rips and tears. 

Everyone is welcome, whatever their level of experience. We can help you to think about what type of repair is needed for your items and, if needed, teach you the basics of hand stitching or the more specialist technique of darning. We’ll also have a sewing machine on hand.
 A range of materials and equipment will be supplied, but feel free to bring your own if preferred - as well as your items for repair. 

Mammoth Mending Workshops are supported by  the Sustainable Transitions Research Group at Nottingham School of Art & Design.
