About the project Socialdress

The artist Marija Mojca Pungerčar started the Socialdress project in 2006. The author uses the term “social dress” for clothing that has an integrative effect in terms of community. At Socialdress workshops participants create functional items of clothing with a lot of soul that are easy to make as well. An important part of the workshops is an exchange of experiences. In this way we create and propagate the Socialdress brand label. You cannot buy a Socialdress dress in a shop, you can only make it yourself.

In 2011 the artist plans workshops in Croatia and in Romania as well.

Marija Mojca Pungerčar is working in the field of contemporary visual art (installation, video, performance), she is also involved with a theatrical costume design. Her work is characterized by socially content, the consummating criticism of society and emphasis locality and community.

The project Socialdress has been supported by the Ministry of Culture of Republic Slovenia.
