In October 2024, 20 communities in 26 countries, across 6 continents, hosted the GFA24 for a total of 40 hours of local programming and 20 hours of Sharing Councils.

The biennial Global Fashioning Assembly (GFA), with a first edition in 2022, is a unique online gathering of local fashion communities from all over the world to decenter and decolonise knowledge creation and sharing on body fashioning practices and heritages.

Rather than the event hosting participants, the participants pass on the hosting of the event to ensure self-representation, -determination and -governance. Its main aim is to disrupt western-centric international fashion gatherings that often operate as gatekeepers to justify and perpetuate excluding and discriminating logics and validate English-centred knowledge.
