(Un)Dressing Religion, Clothing, and Identity
Sept. 18, 12:30 p.m.
Women's Studies Research Center (WSRC)
A panel discussion tied with the WSRC summer exhibition, Dress • Redress. The exhibition brings together eight contemporary artists who – critically, ambivalently, or monumentally – address the relationship between clothing and identity. Via subthemes as varied as religion, memory, gender roles, popular media, and environmental awareness, each artist challenges us to rethink clothing’s significance. Participating artists include Aparna Agrawal, Candice Smith Corby, Maryjean Viano Crowe, Carol Hamoy, Sandra Eula Lee, Esther Solondz, Andrew Thompson, and Leslie Wilco.
