About
Playful and provocative, this exhibition explores how clothes and textiles conceal, reveal and seduce through the lenses of art, design, fashion, film and dance.
Understand how it helps to shape and communicate identity, how it expresses sensuality and sexuality, and its symbolism in different cultures.
Featuring works by Vivenne Westwood, Raisa Kabir, and Cathy de Monchaux, as well as new commissions including Ogi no mai / Japanese Fanfare, an immersive installation by Reiko Sudo.
Curated with Professor Alice Kettle (Manchester Metropolitan University) and Professor Lesley Millar (University for the Creative Arts) this exhibition is developed from the three year research project ‘The Erotic Cloth’, the first outcome of which has been the book The Erotic Cloth (Bloomsbury Academic, 2018).
