Fashion, Gender + Textiles in the Modern Age
Summer@Brown Brown University
From the radical + innovative to the subversive + surreal
Fashion and textiles are multilayered unifying elements in our world that carry our histories, ancestral techniques, and identities within their fibers.
Through research and discussion, this course explores the ways fashion, gender, textiles, and art have come together over the last 150 years to create modern aesthetics and shape the textile and fashion industry. We examine intersections of colonialism, industrialization, craftsmanship, multigenerational memory and authorship considers how we view textiles and the body. Within the intersection of artists and designers, these threaded manifestos became powerful vessels of expression for social change, politics and identity.
