Decolonizing Fashion
This event explores how colonialism, racism and capitalism interact in fashion through a discursive, performative and artistic programme. The focus is on a critical engagement with fashion’s colonial past, coloniality and its continuities in our present. For this reason, we mainly want to present marginalized positions of BIPOC as well as “fashion” practices from the Global South. Aditi Mayer will speak in a conversation on decolonizing fashion, highlighting “alternative” views, while also discuss contemporary issues related to these practices in the here and now. We will look at the existing structures through a decolonial and power-critical lens and discuss the implications and relations of knowledge through art and fashion. What does it need to deconstruct fashion?
