Ceremony of Self with Josephine Chime 
The participants were girls 10-13 years of age with parents subject to immigration control by the Home Office. Given the pressures these girls faced, the increased exposure to messaging objectifying the female body at this age, and the physical and school changes they experienced, we offered them an opportunity to celebrate their super-powers and what they were good at. They translated these strengths into masks and garments which they then cat-walked in a fashion show for friends and family. Their creations were subsequently publicly exhibited for a month.
