# Project Description

I ran away from home, but where can I run away from longing?

Elena Ciobanu

Summary

Final work

I am Elena, a fashion and culture researcher and writer. Moving from Moldova to the UK in my teens, I focus my practice on uncovering overlooked narratives within my heritage and beyond. I explore the intersections of femininity, class and style through an experimental lens, mirroring my thought process. My work is driven by curiosity, cultural pride and a desire to bring new perspectives to the study of fashion and culture.

This zine delves into the themes and messages that have shaped the emerging phenomenon of Moldovan hip-hop. More than just music, this genre serves as a voice for Moldovans and the Moldovan diaspora, offering a space to reflect on identity, memory and belonging. With its nostalgic undertones, hip-hop becomes a bridge between past and present, home and distance - both a means of connection and an outlet for expression.
