For this year’s exhibition programme, as part of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2024, five independent fashion practitioners were invited by FASHIONCLASH to form a curatorial team and collaborate on the concept for the New Fashion Narratives exhibition.
This year’s curatorial team includes Chaewon Kong, Karime Salame, Katharina Spitz, Simon Marsiglia and Teresa Carvalheira – a group of fashion practitioners with various backgrounds and practices within and beyond the fashion landscape.
The curatorial team shares an interest in fashion that gains inspiration from topics and practices beyond the boundaries of the fashion landscape. They want to broaden the confines of fashion and design practices for this year‘s New Fashion Narratives exhibition, by welcoming applications of artists, researchers and designers from various disciplines who work according to a collaboratively and transdisciplinary approach.
Therefore, the exhibition will be built around the idea of the collaborative game ‘Exquisite Corpse’[1]. This metaphor serves as a framework to present works that result from collaborative and/or transdisciplinary practices pushing the boundaries of future fashion practices. The curatorial team aims to actively promote and foster education on cross-disciplinary practices and simultaneously showcase the potential and impact of these practices within and beyond the fashion landscape.
[1] ‘exquisite corpse’: a game of collaborating individuals. Throughout this game the drawing of a body is composed in a collective effort. The game results in a collective drawing.
