Take part in an interactive workshop exploring street culture and subculture from the 1950's to now, and contribute your images to a live archive of streetstyle.
Photographer Nina Manadhar presents What We Wore - the first personal history of British style; a photographic documentary of street culture and subculture from 1950–2010 through the lens of the people living it. This is a subjective history, in people’s own words and image.
In response to the BP Spotlight: Source, What We Wore invites you to contribute your street style images to a live archive, which explores style in relation to different cultural spaces, codes and the formation of groups. Check out #sourcestreetstyle for inspiration.
Before you attend please email one image to us by Thursday 17th April 10am. The image could be a photograph of your bedroom wall, a selfie, an item of clothing you love, your favourite musician, the area you live in, a flyer or image from a club/gig/party you have been to recently. Alternatively you can bring a hard copy of this image when you attend this event.
Send to tate.collective@tate.org.uk (under 5mb please)
From the entries submitted Tate and What We Wore will, in its discretion, select those to be included in the archive.
