[what]

re/vision fashion_feminist pleasure and radical knowledge is dedicated to a multi-perspective approach of critical fashion knowledge that interrelates and connects theory and practice. it will deepen the scope of “intellectual activism and critical art and design projects team[ing] up to decolonize, politicize and democratize fashion research” (gaugele/titton, 2022). The “feast of conversations” format already hints towards a playful and experimental space for critical thinking and doing. therefore, we crafted an international get-together of prestigious theoretical and practical positions from south africa via europe to the united states. in the spirit of the entangled umbrella topics re/vision fashion - feminist pleasure - radical knowledge, we will explore questions of contemporary ideas in fashion design and research in the context of social justice and questions of decolonization and migration in fashion in research and design including a contemporary mediation concept of design.
additionally, the event provides art conversations, too. You are invited to listen to the affects of Black and queer poetry as well as participate in radical intersectional feminist interventions in ai-algorithms.
