ALL DOLLED UP
SATURDAY 22 FEBRUARY
5:00PM
P.A.M OUTPOST @ MANE, LEVEL 1/8 PEEL ST, COLLINGWOOD
A collaboration between Melbourne designers P.A.M and S!X, recutting PAM's archival garments.
For the performance, dolls made from scavenged single-use plastic bags and mimicking iconic fashion looks are pinned to the performers’ garments. These garments are items from PAM’s archive, recut to form strange surfaces and shapes. The dolls are based upon the Guatemalan worry doll, which children place beneath their pillow at night to relieve them of their worries. The audience are invited to write down their worldly or personal worries and cares on a tag attached to a doll and pinned to the performer, who then carries away their troubles and concerns.
Free to attend, bookings essential
