Fashion & Freedom

Fashion & Freedom is part of 14-18 NOW, a five-year programme of extraordinary arts experiences connecting people with the First World War. Working in partnership with cultural organisations UK-wide, 14-18 NOW commissions new work by leading contemporary artists across the spectrum of the visual arts and design, theatre, film, dance, digital, music, poetry and mass-participation events, inspired by the period 1914-1918.

Alongside Fashion & Freedom, our 2016 season includes End of Empire by Yinka Shonibare MBE at Margate’s Turner Contemporary, David Lang’s UK-wide choral project, Memorial Ground, which premieres at the East Neuk Festival, Ciara Philips’ Every Woman – the fourth in our series of Dazzle Ships – and the UK tour of Poppies: Wave and Weeping Window by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper.

So far, more than 20 million people have experienced our events. To find out more, visit our website and sign up to our e.newsletter.
