For the 2025 edition of FashionClash, Tjerre Lucas Bijker joined the curatorial team developing the exhibition New Fashion Narratives – Collective Movements. Alongside Paula Dischinger, Rafael Kouto and Jonas Zitter, they developed an exhibition that explored how fashion can act as a tool for connection, resistance, and collective action —operating at the intersection of fashion design, activism, and communal practice. As the curatorial theme, they aimed to present works, makers, and collectives that transcend dominant systems by embracing cultural rituals, shared knowledge, and collaboration.

Curatorial concept | Collective Movements, Moving Collectively
Collective Movements explores the power of radical togetherness—of belonging not as a static state, but as an active, co-creative force. It speaks to the richness born from communal working, the intensity of exchange, and the weaving of a multitude of voices into a shared fabric.
Here, movement is more than motion—it is the activation of alternative perspectives and the materialization of counter-spaces, it relates to the choreographies of process, repetition and making. These movements exist in places where the private meets the public, where we make noise out of collective urgency, and where making becomes political.
Together, Moving Collectively ask us to consider how we move, who we move with, and what we move for—how practices of fashion become acts of connection and resistance.
