[Re]Making the Unmade explores how D/deaf, Disabled, and Mad-identifying people creatively “hack” their everyday clothing to make it more wearable, expressive, and inclusive. Through these acts of adaptation, participants reimagine fashion as a space of belonging, empowerment, and desire for disability. The project challenges mainstream fashion’s narrow ideals by showcasing how individuals and communities transform garments — and, in doing so, transform the very systems that have historically excluded them. About the ExhibitionThis exhibition is part of the SSHRC-funded research project Cripping Masculinities: Disabled Men’s Intersectional Narratives through Fashion (2019–2024), co-led by Dr. Megan Strickfaden (University of Alberta) and Dr. Ben Barry (Toronto Metropolitan University / Parsons, New York). *
