Daung Madi
Madi is a graduating student of the BA (Hons) Fashion Media and Industries programme whose work explores identity, displacement and belonging through visual storytelling. Working across photography, publication and conceptual art direction, she examines how fashion can communicate personal and cultural narratives beyond aesthetics. Her practice is informed by Southeast Asian and Burmese contexts, where she reflects on diaspora and the politics of representation. Through a research-led and image-driven approach, she aims to challenge reductive portrayals and create space for more nuanced, self-determined perspectives. Grounded in these values, Madi is also interested in sustainability and community-driven design. She approaches fashion not only as a visual medium, but as a socially engaged practice that fosters dialogue and centres lived experience.
