(Dis)Embodied Garments is a collection of wearable pieces created through a collaborative process with neurodivergent artists and designers based in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Each garment incorporates sensory elements tailored to the participants’ embodied experiences and needs—such as elastic loops for proprioceptive feedback and metal eyelets for playful and tactile stimulation—reflecting diverse modes of feeling and being.

The design process originated from a series of workshops where participants shared their sensory preferences and curiosities, and express their personal understandings of “comfort” and “connection.” Apart from the final garments, their contributions are also embedded in the methodology: a co-design practice grounded in trust, reciprocity, and attentiveness.

This exhibition presents garments designed by the artist, pieces created during a workshop in Beijing, and a “Collective Body Map.” Visitors are invited to reflect on their own experiences and mark areas where they have felt pressure, comfort, tension, or sensory overload, gradually visualizing shared embodied experiences.
