Barton Kweka

My name is Barton Kweka, and I’m a student at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). Originally from Tanzania, I’m proud to bring my unique perspective to Campus Popcorn, a space for arts and culture. Fashion has not always been my passion, but i grew to understand why its so important. Growing up in Tanzania, I was inspired by the vibrant styles around me and the creativity that fashion brings to life. Now, studying in British Columbia, I see how fashion can be a way to connect cultures and express individuality.

At Campus Popcorn, I’ll be focusing on university fashion—how students use their style to show who they are. From streetwear to thrift store finds, I’ll explore the trends and influences that shape how we dress. Fashion isn’t just about clothes; it’s about identity and confidence, especially in a diverse place like TRU. I’m excited to share my insights and celebrate the unique looks students are bringing to campus.
