Please RSVP for:

The Fabric of Cultures: Objects, Memory, Technology
A Research and Pedagogy Project

When: May 18th at 5pm
Where: President's Conference Room 2, Rosenthal Library
Reception to follow

Fashion is a behavioral phenomenon that intersects with media, race and
gender, personal and collective identities, labor and technology. Clothing
is an emotional object. It presses against our skin leaving an imprint on
our intimate selves.  Clothing is the site for experimentation in art,
design, technology and form. Once clothing, through its intermediaries, is
translated into fashion, it becomes a strong platform of communication and
acts as a symbolic system that connects geopolitical spaces, identities and
experiences.

The Fabric of Cultures: Objects, Memory, Technology is a research and
pedagogical lab that aims to further understanding of fashion and local and
global clothing as powerful manifestations of human and aesthetic
expressions and as barometers of economic, social and technological
transformations.
