Leo Peralta designer mode

From its medieval past, the Provencal village of Volonne counted up to 42 weavers, as part of this rich heritage we will welcome the artist Leo Peralta, Argentine fashion designer, based in France. He studied Fine Arts, and in parallel learned the trade of sewing. He arrived in Europe in 2013, invited by the Ibero-American design biennial. He works on his own clothing line but also for artists from Europe and USA. His work is maximalist and multicolored and his imagery oscillates between references to the Middle Ages, folkore and pop culture. The limits of gender identity, sensuality, self-determination and decolonization are regularly questioned in his approach. In artistic residency thanks to the DRAC project "Eté culturel: rouvrir le monde" it will offer us 2 afternoon of patchwork workshop by the concept of upcycling. His project approach will begin with a textile recycling workshop through insertion where meeting people in difficulty is important to him. Through his art he also wants to show that despite our differences we can highlight our dreams. Isabelle Costa, volunteer, will propose you on registration on Sunday at 14h a workshop of vegetable dyeing with essences, dyeing plants of Haute Provence. We will welcome you for the workshops at the old oil mill ( cours Jacques Paulon) you can also participate in guided tours of the medieval village and gypsum decorations of the castle early XVII century. The heritage development association also wants to highlight artists who use upcycling and artisanal fabication because today on our planet the textile industry is the most polluting.
