COSTUMES AND COLLAPSE: Jeppe Ugelvig, Marcin Rozyc, Panel Discussion “Sites of Fashion Research and Dissemination”, July 21, 2023, 7:00 PM

Discussion invites us to look into the challenges of the fashion research and dissemination which lies beyond the fashion magazines, museum collections and historical fashion archives. Marcin Rozyc will showcase the examples of how fashion responds to and shapes political and social movements in Poland through countercultural, anti-nationalist rebellions, or identity politics. Together with Jeppe Ugelvig we will discuss how to maintain those histories and reveal the underlying social and political narratives and messages embedded within garments through fashion research methodologies.

Panel Discussion will take place at Pickle Bar. Free admission.
No registration is required.
Language: English.

Doors open at 7:00 PM.
Panel Discussion starts at 7:15 PM.
