What we wear can claim space. In Atlanta, the hoodie has become a tool for visibility, resistance, and belonging. Join MODA for a powerful conversation about how designers, artists, and collectives use hoodies to tell stories, take a stand, and shape the city from the ground up.

Moderated by MODA’s first Designer-in-Residence, David Tann of Tantrum Agency, this discussion reveals how Atlanta’s creative community uses design not just to reflect the city, but to define it. Come ready to listen, learn, and engage with the people designing Atlanta—one hoodie at a time.

  • Chilly-O: Known for their innovative approach to urban fashion.
