Youth Design Workshops
In the summer of 2019, the MCA welcomed over 1000 youth from over 50 organizations for free design workshops inspired by Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech”. Created and facilitated by MCA Artist Guides, the workshops invited young people to design original styles using recycled clothing.
