Uniforms (re)done: A Workshop in Experimental Reconstruction Methodologies
Uniforms and military attire have been in a constant state of flux – it remains unclear what future forms and applications they may take in view of rising conflict over natural resources, social unrest and population movement en masse. How can uniforms be repurposed and reconceptualized in a manner that speaks to the current atmosphere and which embodies our prevailing conditions? Using already-produced uniforms as research instruments, participants will engage in an experimental process of reconstruction. Imaginative thinking and unmaking/making processes will be explored in an attempt to reveal new tactile forms that possess speculative materialities. Participants’ presence and intuition will guide the creative methods and outcomes.
Presented at the Fashion Studies Network Symposium, held at the Parsons School of Design in June 2024. Conference details and schedule.
