Testimonial

“Through the eyes of other people and other culture, I learn new perspective and curiosity not just to other culture but also to my own one.

仲間と異文化の目を借りて新しい価値観を知り、相対的に自らの文化に対する好奇心を自覚できました。”

— Hina Ui  : SCUADer for SCUAD Bandung 2021

“The creative efforts were not top down. Instead, each team had dialogues with their local communities and created designs that suited the desires of local people. The idea was that they would draw on the heritage and background of each culture, making clothes that had stories and were rooted in place. “
