Event location details

Exhibition Road

Fancy wearing a sculpture on your head, your shoulders or your arms? Where else could you wear it? Join artist Gayle Chong Kwan to create your own wearable art inspired by your senses. Combine images from the V&A and recycled packaging, before adding colours to make your art. Get inspired by Gayle’s work and the stories of artists and makers in the museum. Then become part of our moving exhibition as you wear your creations around the Great Exhibition Road Festival!

Gayle Chong Kwan is an artist who uses photography, sculpture and installation in her work, always mixing playful ideas and techniques. Get inspired by her own collage and wearable sculptures, often made using waste, food, archives and craft.
