CONVERSATIONS TO
REDRESS A FASHION DISASTER.
Jan van Eyck Academy will host a series of artistic experiments, film screenings, conversations and artworks to critique fashion's response to the current climate crisis. Key members of the Research Collective for Decolonising Fashion (RCDF) will engage with experts, artists, thinkers, students, activists and the public in open, forthright and constructive Conversations to Redress a Fashion Disaster.
Together with participants, the members of the RCDF will consider how a framework of decoloniality could be useful for thinking beyond the known critiques of production, consumption and the relentless drive for growth and profit. By utilizing the themes of luxury, education and digital curation to explore new and decolonial ideas for fashion, we aim to expose the fundamentally flawed processes of conventional fashion practices and achieve a better understanding of the problematic foundations of fashion-as-usual.
