This conference invites an exploration of matters' artistic potential in fashion design, as they shape the body and unlock new modes of creative expression. Through experimentation and research, we hope to reveal materials' previously undiscovered capacities and agencies in fashion design, unlocking novel ways of thinking, being, wearing and living.

At the Dutch Design Week 2023 we are organizing an exclusive presentation and work session around the ArtEZ Designing Shape Shanging Textiles (DSCT) project at Evoluon in Eindhoven.

Chinouk Filique de Miranda will start as the first Professional Doctorate at ArtEZ on September 1, 2023.

As part of their Professorship Assignment, participants of the Master Critical Fashion Practices developed the presentation MADE IN___ for Museum Arnhem. 

The one-year ‘Designing Shape Changing Textiles’ project has hit its halfway point. With a consortium bringing in social, ecological, technical and design perspectives, we’re learning to surpass the anthropocentric and are creating material samples and speculative scenarios inspired by symbiosis and principles of ecomimicry.
