“The depiction of women by women (sometimes themselves) as a political statement grows potentially more powerful as it approaches actual exploitation but then, within an ace of it, collapses into ambiguity and confusion.

The more attractive the women, the higher the risk,

since the more closely they approach conventional stereotypes in the first place.”
― J. Ann Tickner

ACD team & partners are fostering the inner Work for Social Change,

acknowledging that all our commitments made here may not be possible unless we do the inner work required to propel social change. We believe that personal transformation is deeply interwoven with social change, and we commit to an ongoing reflective practice through art-based learning that increases transformative awareness of self and others, as well as of the systems from which complex social problems arise

Following the guidelines of the Feminist Foreign Policy, ACD team encourages cultural diplomacy practice from the feminist perspective, such as it has been recommended in the Report " A Feminist Foreign Policy for the European Union

Fashion&Lifestyles

Fashion can be instrumental in shaping the tone and nature of identity, gender roles, relations, and relationships.

It is also an actual vessel of political legitimacy and a unique space for artists, audiences, and other stakeholders in cultural and educational management. In this regard, the ACD Team has developed partnerships with fashion designers and created art-based educational sessions, aimed to provide quality learning by engagement and dialogue with professionals from the field, on lifestyle, the role of fashion in. daily life, and professional career, identity, and its impact on wellbeing, self-esteem, and also challenges connected with judgment of taste, prejudices, and stereotypes, what can lead to misunderstandings, exclusion from social communities and stigmatizing; How can fashion positively influence the social-self and wellbeing, support self-confidence and also open space for finding in common? 

Fashion has symbolic power, in terms of representation. Its exhibition constructs and persuades meaning through presentation. Especially traditional clothes transfer social standards and cultural concepts related to the body, gender, aesthetics, gesture, taste, and cultural roles.

Hence, the symbolic power of „fabrics“ for the development of identity, imposes in some way the specter of the legitimacy of the social order. In its political importance, fashion can raise awareness for diverse nations and cultures, but also for individuals and their contribution to the positive change and prosperity of communities.

Fashion media plays a significant role in providing trends, attitudes, and values.

Fashion shows, fashion magazines, fashion blogs, and all kinds of social media platforms are serving as powerful tools for spreading trends and promoting causes, such as health-oriented behavior, but also for  initiate changes in lifestyles, values, and attitudes, set trends, and contribute to the political changes regarding the position of women in the society, women rights and education for girls, so as provide constructive solutions and models for the development of the wider sense of belonging within a global homeland.

Brands have the potential for economic and educational empowerment of women and girls within developing countries and beyond. Building brand awareness and credibility for traditional crafts and techniques, fabrics, patterns, and design, the fashion industry can support especially female designers, which are the largest group of workers within this industry in developing countries to reach better working and life conditions, better staging of the self within family and society through economical independence and education and train young entrepreneurs across all countries to learn how to connect and to support other projects and initiatives through their engagement.

Cooperation among professionals from creative industries (fashion, media) and those from education, training, and consulting on gender roles and stereotypes, fashion, and lifestyles, sustainable fashion, and resilient body cultures,

will result in the building of synergies to support the young generation in their orientation toward lifestyles and trends, with critical observation, help shape good choices, and make quality decisions.   

ACD-Team invites local, national, and international designers to connect and present their creations and create collaborative projects and partnerships. 

Our current ambassador for Fashion-lifestyles is Austrian fashion designer, Elke Freytag.
