This group exhibition, curated by AGGV chief curator Jaimie Isaac, features works in a range of media (weaving, collage, photography, etc.) toward the question of what it means to “produce original works of art in fashion.” Although rooted in both modern and traditional art practice, the artists represented are especially mindful of shifting social and ecological conditions, particularly in light of the fast fashion industry and its emphasis on profit over workers’ rights and environmental sustainability.
