Represent: A Social Creativist Project 2025
Starting in February and culminating at the Lichfield Arts Fuse Festival in July, REPRESENT is an exciting outreach project created by Nurture Community CIC and Transition Lichfield. This Social Creativist initiative explores how we create and express identity through the choices we make about what we wear and how we represent ourselves.
What is REPRESENT about?
In a world increasingly driven by fast fashion and social media trends, how can we help the next generation express their identity in more ethical and sustainable ways? Through REPRESENT, we invite you to join an important conversation about self-representation, ethical fashion, and mindful consumption.
What to Expect
Our project begins with engaging workshops where participants will create identity bracelets from reclaimed materials. This fun, hands-on activity not only sparks creativity but also serves as a catalyst for deeper discussions on self-expression, ethics, and sustainability.
Mental Health and Well-Being
We believe self-expression and self-care go hand in hand. Throughout this project, we’ll be collaborating with mental health charities to promote mental well-being. Crafting, in itself, is a wonderful tool for mindfulness, and REPRESENT will offer opportunities to reflect on both our identity and mental health needs.
Get Involved
Join us at the Lichfield Repair Café on February 15, from 2 PM to 5 PM at Curborough Community Centre, Lichfield (36 Reynolds Close, WS13 7NY), to learn more about the project or take part in our creative workshops.
Spaces are limited to 15 participants per session, so register early to ensure a spot. We work with smaller groups to encourage meaningful conversations. For larger groups, additional hosts will be provided to maintain engagement. Hosting and materials are included, and donations are welcomed.
Let’s Work Together
REPRESENT invites you to join us in this exploration of identity, ethics, and care. Together, we can help shape a more mindful, sustainable future for self-expression.
