Step into the provocative world of Dress Code: Behind the Seams, where image becomes a powerful vehicle for exploring the intricacies of society. This captivating exhibition peels back the layers to reveal the hidden stories ‘behind the seams’. Delve into the complexities of societal norms and power structures to find unexpected cultural values. Discover how gender and expectations intertwine, transforming self-expression.
