From Uniforms to Wearables x Sneaker Rebirth - NYC - 02/22
Pairs well with
This collaborative workshop brings together artist Tomer Peretz and Dr. H Sahar Haba for a hands-on creative experience at the intersection of art, fashion, and personal storytelling, set inside The 8 Exhibit at our New York gallery. The exhibition features works created through The 8 Project’s healing-through-art process, exploring identity, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
Participants will paint and transform military uniforms into personal artworks, reimagining an object tied to protection and sacrifice as a canvas for expression and strength.
Alongside this, participants will redesign sneakers using paint, textures, laces, and mixed materials, turning an everyday item into a one-of-a-kind wearable piece that speaks to movement, renewal, and forward momentum.
This workshop is open to all levels. No art experience needed - just curiosity and a willingness to create.
Time: 12:00-4:00 PM
Please bring a pair of sneakers (or shoes of your choice) to customize. Event details and the exact location will be shared via email closer to the date.
100% of proceeds support The 8 Project’s therapeutic residency program.
