Brief: Parade

Parade - Politics to Carnivals

This brief requires you explore the concept of style as a tool for connection and identity in public space. To begin with, you should identify at least five individual events where groups of people dress in a certain way as a specific tool of communication to a public audience. A couple of examples are political protest marches or street carnivals.

You must then spend a significant amount of time engaging with these five events, so make sure they will take place during the period of this project. Carry out initial research into what the event is, why it is taking place, who is involved, what role clothing has. Attend each event and document using visual, written and audio methods making sure that you provide a thorough document of the occasion.
