Weirding Sustainability
In this two-day event series, we explore the potential for weirding sustainability; going beyond conventional discourses that reproduce business-as-usual, to ask: What does global weirding mean for us as researchers and creative practitioners? How might a weirding of our own imaginations and practices spark more radical and meaningful change?
Cultivating Creations: Gardens and fashion of the Regency and Late Georgian period
Fri 30 January
Botanic Garden
Muslins and cottons, prints and sprigs, influences from India and the growth of merchants. We will explore links between parks and parades of spa towns, Reptonian gardenesque for the newly monied classes, aviaries and exotics for the Regent. Portraits and conversation pieces give us insights into clothing and landscape, as polite society dictate fashion inside and out as literature joins the cultural milieu.
First part in a monthly series examining the interplay of textiles, fashion, culture, and garden design. Each session is sold separately.
Cost: £40
