Visible Mending Workshop

My name is Ana Ibarra, I organize free clothing swaps and workshops in Toronto, Ontario. Currently, I work as a teacher in community centers. This year, I am starting as a Remake ambassador, and I will also begin working with Autism Ontario.

We are a Mexican family with a child on the autism spectrum, born in Canada. The high cost of therapies has made us reflect on what truly matters—it's better to repair and reuse clothing than to contribute to more pollution. I studied fashion design in my home country, and since my native language is Spanish, I can help spread this message not only to the Canadian community but also to the Latin American community living in Canada.
