Dr. Renate Stauss Vestimentary Protest: Between Visualised Resistance and Agency

 International Week 2022  

May 2nd in Room 118 + Online 10:00–16:00

 

Political dissent has been manifested and materialised through clothing for centuries. All over the world, vestimentary symbols are used – on the body or autonomously – to express political beliefs and protest. While their meanings vary, materiality and physicality are evocative and often unifying. Together, we will explore when, where and how dress has been and can be employed as visualised resistance – what agency is inherent in dress and fashion, and as a result how that might impact the roles of designers.

 

This workshop is held online but room 138 is available for working within the faculty. Please download the document and follow its instructionsin preperation for the workshop.
