Lately a new form of dysphoria has entered the chat. As if a lit screen has been placed in front of my eyes, not letting me see beyond what it shows me. Images alternate, sounds deafen, complaints pour out. And the worst part: I can't find the remote to turn it off.

But deep inside I am certain that I can look for it. That I know where I can find it. I just need to unstick my gaze from what is being imposed on me and look a little further into the horizon. Then I'll find it — and I'll press play on what I actually want to see. What interests me. What illuminates my mind and my soul. What respects all different versions of me and my ideas. Ideas that break loose like an action team the moment they find a crack.

Maybe it's time to get up from my seat.

Maybe I should take you with me.

There are moments in life when you finally understand what you truly want and can do — not as part of a plan, but from what you see actually happening in front of you. For me, those moments were the "Fashion and Femininity" seminars at Faro Creative Learning. People from completely different backgrounds came — what brought them together? Not an interest in clothes, as you might think. It was something deeper: a belief in a value system of hope. A need to think beyond what they had been told was true.

That's when I understood that clothing is not merely a starting point for aesthetic conversation. It is a political object. Universal, everyday, unavoidable — and for precisely that reason, powerful as a tool for critical thinking. Through a single piece of fabric that people choose to use every day, one can read gender, power, environment, identity, economic inequality. The entire system.

That's where fasfem began — as an idea, as a virtual project, and eventually as a physical space: fasfemStudio. The moment fasfem stopped being just a thought and became matter.

These years taught me something important: access to unlimited information without structure produces guilt, not consciousness. We need tools to connect stimuli across different fields of knowledge — feminist theory, ecology, political economy, psychology. We need space to imagine alternative paths — more just, more inclusive, more collaborative. And we need community to walk them together.

So I decided to act accordingly and… BOOM.

REfashioned was born.

Eight weeks using fashion as a lens to explore gender, environment, power, psychology, racial inequalities and activism. Not fashion tips. Not lists of sustainable brands. Political education through a piece of fabric — with scientific rigour, theoretical depth and collective action.

But before the full programme — I want to meet you in person. To lay the foundations together. To see who you are, the person who follows fasfem — and what moves you to do so.

On May 26th, at WHENHub in Athens, we hold the first public session of REfashioned. Two hours. Ten spots — deliberately limited. Because real dialogue doesn't happen in an auditorium.

If you refuse to accept things as given. If you're tired of just complaining about what's happening.

I'm waiting for you.
