Join us for a roundtable discussion with current Thami Mnyele Foundation resident Caterina Pecchioli at Framer Framed! The discussion is based on her research project 'Decolonizing the Gaze', and includes speakers: multidisciplinary artist Roxane Mbanga, designer and publisher Willem Van Zoetendaal, fashion designer Bubu Ogisi, fashion practitioner and researcher, entrepreneur, academic, creative director Zinzi de Brouwer and
creative director Semhal Tsegaye Abebe.
On 11 July (18:00 20:30) Framer Framed hosts the roundtable discussion is an open debate about what the different fabrics and their history tell about interculture, colonialism, and cultural appropriations. The discussion, which involves Afro-descendant stylists, artists, and fashion designers with origins from countries with a history of Dutch colonization, intends to identify new meanings about widespread colonial dressing practices and body policies and the effects of colonialism on the individual/collective imagination and design practices.
