Devised and led by Claudia Poh (pioneer of adaptive fashion in Singapore and award-winning designer behind Werable), this hands-on workshop invites us to explore how clothing shapes the way we move, feel, and show up in the world.
Through a series of embodied exercises, participants will reimagine everyday garments—thinking through wearing and discovering how design can unlock life and all that it has to offer.

How will our mobility shift in the next 30 years, and how will this reshape the way we live?
In this companion talk to her workshop, Claudia Poh invites us to see fashion not just as style, but as empathy in action. It is about observing life closely, identifying friction points, and finding ways to smooth the path forward. It means designing with, not just for—co-creating solutions that respect the full spectrum of human experience. Drawing from her journey designing for people experiencing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke and those with reduced dexterity, she shares how design can enhance mobility and transform everyday life.
From inflatable dressing aids to garments that coil around the body, Claudia challenges us to imagine a future where clothing supports not only how we look—but how we move and belong. Because it’s not just about adding years to life. It’s about adding life to those years.

Claudia Poh is an award-winning designer and founder of Werable, an adaptive fashion label reshaping the way we think about clothing and inclusion.
A Parsons School of Design graduate, her venture into adaptive fashion began when she crafted a coat for a friend with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). From hands-free dressing systems to innovative designs that can be worn single-handedly by stroke survivors, Claudia sets out to design for a kinder and more inclusive tomorrow.

Journey into the neuroscience of the human experience and how our brains all work in their own unique way, reimagine our bodies through adaptive fashion and inclusive design, and explore beauty in the diverse materiality of the natural world.
Organised as a festival accompanying Mirror Mirror: Journey into the Mind and Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, Curious Worlds draws from the topics and themes explored in both exhibitions to showcase the work of neuroscience researchers who are probing the mechanisms of the human brain, modern naturalists who are transforming the way we look at the natural world, as well as fashion designers and technologists who are innovating for a more inclusive and accessible future.
The month-long programming unfolds across exhibits, talks, pop-up conversations, workshops and demonstrations through three thematic tracks—neuroscience and neuropsychology, adaptive fashion and assistive tech, and natural history and biodiversity.
Collaborators include AnnabelleTTN, bioSEA, Brain Bank Singapore, Centre for Research and Development in Learning (CRADLE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice (CRPP) at Nanyang Institute of Education (NIE), Dementia Research Centre (Singapore), Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, Movemental, Salvage Garden, Science of Learning in Education Centre (SoLEC) at National Institute of Education (NIE), Society for Neuroscience Singapore Chapter (SfN-SG), The Curious Pangolin, Werable and Wild Dot.
Curious Worlds is presented as a special event of ArtScience Museum's Mind and Body: The Art and Science of Being Human season, an exploration of what it means to think, feel and exist as human beings.
