Sewing Rebellion
Labor Trade Show & Fashion Show– Call for Submissions

Mess Hall
7027 North Glenwood Ave.

The Sewing Rebellion is a cultural revolution where participants are invited to emancipate themselves from the global garment industry by learning the skills to produce your own garments. Frau Fiber artist, activist and former textile worker hosts free weekly workshops where she shares her knowledge of the garment industry, pattern making, and sewing, encouraging the reuse, renovation and recycling of existing garments and textiles in the creation of unique garments tailored to individual tastes and body shapes.
The Sewing Rebellion will host a celebration of labor practices and invites you to contribute by exhibiting your labor practice within the context of a "trade show". The Labor Trade Show will be held in conjunction with a fashion show of garments produced in the Sewing Rebellion and a performance of the Synchronized Sewing Squad.
Frau Fiber is also seeking participants for the Synchronized Sewing Squad. The Synchronized Sewing Squad performs garment production. Unskilled and skilled textile laborers are invited to particpate in a 20-30 minute performance where we will piece together simple garments
such as a table cloth circle skirt or hunters hat before a live audience If you are interested in participating please send the following by April 1, 2007:
