What's the story behind what you wear?

Investigate the real messages behind fashion industry images with Deconstructing Fashion. Evaluate the advertisements and commercials you see every day and create a commercial comeback in response. Communicate your opinion with a website you create, and earn digital badges along the way.

Plus! Showcase your images and videos at a multimedia exhibit at the Bronx Library Center May 6 - June 6.

This program will take place at the Muhlenberg Branch on Thursdays at 3:30PM on May 2nd, May 9th, May 16th, and May 23rd.
