Anciela x Sacred Threads: Screening, Exhibition, Conversation & Music at Reference Point
Join us for a screening of Sacred Threads, followed by an intimate conversation between Brazilian filmmaker Marie Lanna and Anciela's Creative Director, Jennifer Droguett, moderated by MinuteShorts. The evening closes with a Latin-infused DJ set
The event also features an exhibition exploring the costumes and characters of the film, a closer look at the craft and intention behind each piece. Together, Marie and Jennifer will explore sustainability, cultural identity, and fashion as a carrier of meaning, and what happens when creative practices converge to drive change.
Conceived as an open exchange, the evening invites audience participation and a slower, more intentional engagement with fashion and culture.
