Launched on 07 May 2013
In March 2013, SHOWstudio teamed up with Una Burke to create a SHOWcabinet installation entitled Prosthetics. Taking inspiration from the Ancient Greek meaning of the word–'to add', 'to advance' or 'to give power to'–SHOWstudio created a season of fashion films and discussions to further explore the empowering aspects of prosthetics alongside the exhibition.
