critical practice visual — Yasmin Braganza

The Hidden Labour Collective is a speculative image project examining the exploitation of unpaid creative labour within the fashion industry through the visual language of fashion advertising and editorial culture.
Blurring activism with seduction, the work reappropriates commercial aesthetics to explore ambition, precarity and visibility within contemporary creative industries.

Developed as part of my final-year Critical Practice project at University of the Arts London.
