STAND YOUR GROUND
“Stand Your Ground for an inclusive fashion and art industry.
Walk on forbidden territory.
Peek Behind the Scenes.”
Stand Your Ground is a cultural collective based on interdisciplinary collaboration between fashion, dance, visuals, sound and film. The collective was an initiative of fashion designer Nine Parre, who pared up with choreographer Jinko Adams and art director Raya van der Kroon to broaden the access of the fashion world and present her sustainable collection in a different context. Focusses on cultural diversity, connectivity and the ‘behind the scenes’ of the creative industry, the collective created a performance that showcased at different venues, to eventually launch its own event in an old Amsterdam jail (BijlmerBajes). Set in the decor of a life-size peepshow, we lead our audience through the 5 different artistic disciplines and making processes involved, in the Dressingroom, Studio, House of Rehearsal, Dancefloor and Sound Station to end up in a collective performance.
