"Wordings"
The Language of Fashion Heritage
12 - 13 December 2022
In cultural heritage, words matter. We use them to identify artefacts and the techniques and people they represent; to describe artefacts and their meaning; to reactivate stories, re-evaluate power structures, signal moments of disruption and change. Words are tools to catalogue objects when they enter museum, brand and private collections, and vehicles to deliver ideas and instances embodied by objects to wide and diverse audiences.
"Wordings" will to look at words - their social value, the complexities connected to their changing meaning and their historical and cultural context, and their ‘life’ as curatorial tools - in museological practices.
