Project Fashion Fixed
Sustainability & Climate Education
Project Fashion Fixed us joined us in 2025 as part of the first Creative in Residence cohort at the Barbican.
Project Fashion Fixed is a growing collective of young creatives exploring how we can rethink climate education through sustainable fashion, design, and storytelling. Founded by textile artist Kerry Gibson, it brings together illustrators, digital artists, photographers, film makers, makers, writers, dancers, and musicians to find more creative and accessible ways of understanding climate change.
Using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals as a guide, the collective explores environmental challenges through collaboration, creating events, performances, music, and shared creative experiences that invite people to think differently about the impact of what we wear and make.
During the residency, the work has grown into a wider programme of activity across Lincoln and beyond. This has included clothes swaps, hands-on workshops such as felting, mending and sewing, creative meet-ups, live music events, performances, and film screenings. Alongside this, young people have been supported to get involved behind the scenes, gaining experience in production, performance, and creative practice.
The project has also connected with a wider network of creatives and industry professionals, opening up opportunities beyond the local area.
Throughout the residency, Project Fashion Fixed has helped bring energy into the Barbican, showing how the space can be used for creative, community-led activity.
As a Community Interest Company and environmental partner of the 1% for the Planet movement, the project continues to grow a creative community that connects fashion, music, creativity, and positive environmental action.
A big part of this residency at the Barbican Creative Hub has been about creating space, both physically and creatively. Having somewhere to work from has been a turning point. With this residency supported by Arts Council England, we’ve been able to bring people together, grow a community, and start trying things we haven’t had the opportunity to do before.
