Collage Vibes (ages 16-25)
Saturday 14 March from 2pm to 5:30pm
A FREE joyfully chaotic, wildly inclusive fabric workshop led by fashion designer Gary Bigeni, with a public exhibition in June 2026. These workshops are for autistic, neurodivergent, disabled and CALD LGBTQIA+SB young people
Fabric is feelings. Fabric is vibes. Fabric does not ask follow-up questions.
This workshop is a low-pressure creative hangout where you can explore identity, culture, gender, disability — or just make something aggressively colourful.
You can: Make something meaningful, Make something abstract, Decorate clothes you brought from home, Add to a shared denim jacket, Help build a giant community artwork. No talking required. No explaining what it “means”. Your fabric owes no one anything.
Access information: The venue has automatic door entry, level access, and air-conditioning. Accessible toilets are located nearby, and the space is wheelchair accessible. We aim to create a relaxed, sensory-aware environment. Lighting is soft and not harsh, and you are welcome to move around, take breaks, or step outside at any time. There is no pressure to talk, share, or complete anything — you can participate in whatever way feels right for you. Support people are welcome to attend. If there is anything that would help you feel more comfortable, please let us know.
