Chelsa will create a studio workspace where she and other artists can create, alter, deconstruct, reconstruct, design and craft clothing and accessories for themselves and the surrounding community. This will provide an artistic workspace for those who may not have access to equipment and supplies. By creating a wide range of clothing, including stylized non-gender biased clothing, Chelsa and other artists will challenge societal norms of sex, gender, economy, and fashion, and provide an alternative to store-bought clothes. The studio will also be a gathering space for artists and activists to come together and collaborate on projects.
