ROUNDTABLE: Sensory Fashion

Uncommon Senses III: The Future of the Senses Conference

Sat 8 May 2021: 9:30-11am EST

Organiser: Sara Chong Kwan

Sara Chong Kwan (Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies, LCF) will be in conversation with Danielle Bruggeman (Professor of Fashionat ArtEZ University of theArts, NL), Otto von Busch (Associate Professor of Integrated Design, Parsons, NYC), Mila Burcikova (Research Fellow, LCF Centre for SustainableFashion) and Vidmina Stasiulyte (The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Boras) discussing emerging research that prioritises sensory and emotional engagement with clothing. The discussion poses a challenge to the visual nature of fashion and its representations, exploring sensorial approaches to researching design, production and consumption of fashion; and the embodied, social, cultural and political implications of this.

Uncommon Senses III: The Future of the Senses will be taking place at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. We are pleased to be welcoming scholars from across the social sciences, humanities and arts to explore the future of the senses in a changing world. With four days of stimulating presentations, discussions, workshops, artwork and socializing, we are looking forward to a true feast for the senses!
