Photographs have been mounted on lightweight wooden frames and framed in traditional handloom and silk saree replicas.

The purpose of this project is to help others resituate themselves as artists and to break down the fears surrounding generative AI and show its influence on the creative industry in a positive light.&quot;Adrienne’s work is refreshingly optimistic in their embracement of the often doomsday-scepticised use of AI in creative practice. The execution of their beautiful imagery perfectly exemplifies how AI should be embraced as another creative tool in our arsenal.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

JA i TY is a bilingual print magazine crafted for Polish people by Polish people. The focus is mapping the cultural experiences and identity of Polish immigrants in the United Kingdom and its evolution throughout the decades. The publication rediscovers what it actually means to be Polish in the 21st century. It does so by addressing real-life stories of Polish immigrants and building an understanding of the importance of their heritage - a tradition and culture-focused magazine with a Gen Z twist. &quot;I love Wiktoria’s interview with Władysław &amp; Michael Mleczko – founders and owners of Mleczko, the leading chain of Polish stores in London. The photos are so sweet, and present a touching insight into the story of one remarkable man who was forced to flee his home during the war, and at 92, still runs the store dedicated to his homeland. Wiktoria’s magazine does what journalism does best; share stories of our lives that connect us and inspire.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

&quot;Five Stories One Beginning - Exhibiting Fashion Photographs&quot; invites viewers to indulge in the fusion of cultures, styles, and professional paths in Indian fashion photography. It prompts reflection on the factors influencing artistic perspectives, the ever-evolving fashion industry, and the significance of personal stories within a shared framework.&quot;Sandra’s work beautifully celebrates the work of five Indian fashion photographers, challenging the prevalence of western imagery, and conceptualising the curation of their work in a multi-sensory exhibition.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

Cypher is a digital short research film exploring how to visualize the textures of movements in urban dance choreography in virtual space with technologies and new media. It aims to create an immersive experience that extends the boundaries of traditional movements and experiments with dancers to express movements freely, showcasing dance in ways previously unimaginable.&quot;Not only do I love Carol’s taste in music, but their exploration of the body in movement, whilst utilising emerging technologies, highlights an exciting future where lines are blurred between virtual and reality, and possibilities are endless.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

This showcase consists of three projects, all are costumes and environments for performance, and all three have an element of re-cycling and reuse involved in their making.&quot;Tiffany’s work perfectly exemplifies costume design as a method of storytelling. The depth and layers to her work, and the precision with which she has executed them, is truly stunning.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

Temporal Echoes is an exploration of subjective temporality and the way memories repeatedly re-experience (and therefore re-structure) themselves in the mind. Informed by Paige&#39;s experience with ADHD, she aims to visualise a dreamlike, neurodivergent mind&#39;s eye through which time and memory flow out of sync with rigid numerical clock time.&quot;Challenging conventional notions of fashion photography, Paige’s work is painterly and ephemeral, and beautifully visualizes the theme of neurodivergence as a creative benefit, not hindrance.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

Between Presence and Absence is a project dedicated to the pursuit of intimate and historical understanding as Inês Brochado navigates through family archive imagery and make it interact with her own photographs. This ends up revealing interconnected threads, which allows Inês to overlap different temporalities and challenge conventional historical narratives. Inês&#39;s aim is to understand how these problems are intertwined with the debates surrounding Portuguese collective memory and this nation’s self presentation.&quot;Inês’ work is rich and layered and deals with complex themes surrounding colonial history. Her research work projecting imagery on to bodies is an apt metaphor for the self-reflection that must be done in order to deal with such issues head on.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

This work sees Jack&#39;s attempt at using creative practice as a means to come to terms with the experience of the auto immune disease, psoriasis. It is Jack&#39;s belief that practice may be used as a tool for catharsis, and this work evidences the process of how this belief came to be. The project has a clear personal motivation, however it also attempts to absolve any feelings of shame from the audience that it engages with. Its rawness creates a safe space of vulnerability for all, and potential subsequent healing.&quot;Jack’s work bravely confronts a very personal journey of dealing with Psoriasis, bringing to the forefront issues surrounding beauty ideals, the pressures they inflict on us, and the subsequent impact they have on our relationship to one’s self. Jack’s work is a touching example of photography pushing beyond artifice, utilising it instead as a tool to 
aid self-acceptance, awareness and community.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup

The film portrays moments of longing, exploration, desire, and revelation within an intimate relationship. It illustrates how the protagonist deepens her understanding of herself, her partner, her body, and her sexuality through a modern urban romance. It explores how becoming entangled in intimacy can lead to a perspective on both intimacy itself and self-expansion.&quot;Exploring themes of self-identity, dependency and evolution within relationships, Haowei Li &amp; Ximan Tan’s film is intimate and tender, told with a sensitivity of pace and beautiful scenography throughout.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

HB TV is presenting a magical empathy gun named &quot;Humani-Blaster&quot;. In this show, the hos t- Miya and Trial guest - Bob will show a small documentary of &quot;Humani-Blaster&quot;. The protagonist, Bob, was born with empathy deficiency, and we will see how this gun helps Bob rearouse empathy and reconstruct &quot;Humanity&quot;.&quot;Yangyang’s film is satirical, fun, and brilliantly executed. Celebrating the ability of fashion film as a medium to create fantastical worlds where no one suffers from empathy deficiency!&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

Humani-Blaster

The Monster Project is an investigation into the physical and behavioural evolution of monsters as we grow from children into adults. In order for monsters to remain frightening, it is imperative that they must evolve in both appearance and behaviour alongside us. This project is a representation and reminder of the monsters that we were once afraid of. It illustrates the notion that as we grow older, the visual aspects of monsters no longer fear us as much as the monster&#39;s actions and behaviours do.&quot;There is something inherently fun about a big, pink, fuzzy monster. But the craftsmanship of Emily’s work is great, so too are her themes of childhood imagination vs the realities of our fears in adulthood – perhaps scariest of all is the decline in imagination.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion

The Monster Project

&quot;Data Sacrifice&quot; is a multimedia art piece that connects the domains of art, technology, and conventional religious customs. This project explores the blurring of traditional beliefs and digital algorithms through cinematic tales and interactive online rituals that replicate 
data offerings. It makes audiences consider how we unintentionally trade data privacy for technology. &quot;Wenjie’s work is a surreal examination of the timely topic of personal data and the tradeoff we play between data privacy and technological advancement. An interesting conceptual piece which utilizes the very technologies it challenges.&quot;– Bex Cassie, Creative Director of School of Media and Communication, London College of Fashion
