Translated Through Threads
Translated Through Threads is a project exploring the stories woven into our hand-me-down clothing. Through graphic design and photography, the project invites us to see garments as translators of memories, connections, and relationships- and encourages you to think differently about what you wear and what you might one day pass on.

Labels created by participants for items they hope to pass down.
