Againsaw - Sartorial Liberty: Exhibition

Get ready for our next event: AGAINSAW - Sartorial Liberty! Opening Friday 26 June from 18:00 to 20:30, the exhibition takes place across two neighbouring spaces, NGO DEI Gallery and Atelier Peter George d'Angelino Tap, in a shared cross-cultural dialogue. We are very pleased to welcome Ngoshi, who will be travelling from Dharamsala, India, especially for the occasion.

The joint exhibition explores clothing as worn structures of knowledge within a constantly evolving cultural language. The gallery will transform into a living ecology in which clothing becomes a threshold state where inheritance and reinvention, embodied practice and structural change, and cultural specificity and transregional circulation are held in simultaneous presence.

Ngoshi Choedon's presents her intricate paper collages: A Quiet Negotiation, in which she engages with traditional Tibetan dress, reflecting on Tibetan identity, memory and cultural heritage through the lived experience of exile. Meanwhile, Peter George presents a new series of Sartorial Statues: Filamentary Residues, inspired by the five elements in the Tibetan conceptual framework: earth, water, fire, air and space.

Bringing the two practices together as a living material dialogue on how culture is held, transformed and passed forward, the joint presentation offers a space of coexistence where garments are understood as processes rather than objects, continuously made and unmade across cultural, historical and material conditions.

AGAINSAW - Sartorial Liberty is made possible by Stroom Den Haag and realised in cooperation with the International Campaign for Tibet, in celebration of the 91st birthday of the Dalai Lama on 6 July 2026.
