Godfrey Katende & Salford Slow Fashion

Woven Worlds

Salford Slow Fashion (UK) have worked with Godfrey Katende of IGC Fashion (Uganda) to create a distinctive fashion collection that celebrates bark cloth – an ancient and culturally significant Ugandan fabric. Godfrey is leading vital work to revive and modernise the cloth , and has collaborated with Salford Slow fashion to create the outfit seen in this exhibition and another that is being exhibited in Uganda. The garments on display for BTB25 are made from cotton naturally dyed using bark cloth and rust sourced from the infrastructure of historic Lancashire cotton mills.

This project was funded by The British Council’s International Collaboration Fund.
