The Art of Midlife 3: Snatched — Angela Garbes & Manjula Martin on Fashion
This event is over, it happened on
May 28, 2026 at local economy in Oakland, CA
6028 College Ave, Oakland
What if getting dressed is one of the places where midlife liberation shows up first? Manjula Martin (The Last Fire Season) and Angela Garbes (Essential Labor) will explore style, identity and the power of wearing clothes that allow you to move into your body, that can make you feel more like yourself. They’ll get into fashion as art, the experience of being perceived and what we talk about when we talk about pants. The conversation will be candid, joyful, and hopefully a little weird.
For the Curious
Money, Memoir and Elastic Waist Pants. Manjula and Angela in The Scratch Interview
Forget ‘flattering’: comfortable clothes make me feel most like myself. From ‘Halfway There,’ Angela’s column on midlife in The Guardian

Inside, most things are organized around a long central table where talks, workshops, book clubs and game sessions all happen in close quarters. more...
