Shapeshifter Launch, 2024
Opening of the second hand platform Shapeshifter, founded by Astrid Philipson, curated in collaboration with HUD SPACE.

Shapeshifter is a second-hand platform, founded by Astrid Philipson, where wearables and artefacts are given new life. At the same time, it's a parallel reality, a world influenced by mythology, where knowledge can be exchanged, inspiration found, and growth nurtured together.

The word shapeshifter is ancient and describes beings that existed before our reckoning of time. During this era, gods, humans, plants, and animals could communicate and exchange forms with each other. Those who possessed these traits came to be known as shapeshifters, because of how they, through a connection with the divine, could manipulate the physical or psychological reality. Founded on these ideas Shapeshifter came to life, as an aversion to fixed and unchanging forms.
