People Need Stuff, Right?
September 29 at 12:15 pm
Zoom

In this presentation, Dr. Rachael Kiddey draws on recent contemporary archaeological fieldwork conducted in three European locations: Plymouth (UK), Athens (Greece), and Krokom (Sweden). Using a combination of participatory ethnographic, anthropological, and archaeological methods, Kiddey’s current project called “Migrant Materialities” involves working with displaced people to co-document the places and objects which shape their lived experiences. Sites include the street, parks, squats, cooperatives, NGO spaces, and temporary apartments. Relevant material culture consists of a wide range of domestic objects and personal belongings which function as mnemonic devices, convey diverse experiences of loss and change, and capture the effects of globalization, racialized immigration policy, and rampant capitalism.

Expanding the Narrative: Researching Black Fashion Designers
October 6 at 12:15 pm
Zoom

The prevailing narrative of American fashion prioritizes sportswear and casual clothing, access and affordability—glorifying brands rather than creative individuals. While some major names in the industry are well known, many designers worked on Seventh Avenue, but ‘behind the label,’ or pioneered their own enterprises. Recent scholarship is starting to bring their work and careers to light. Nancy B. Deihl’s presentation focuses on the research methods and materials—and the ultimate discoveries—behind two book chapters on two unsung Black fashion designers: Zelda Wynn Valdes and Wesley Tann.

Art Hx: Digital Archiving and Forms of Care
October 7 at 12:15 pm
Zoom

Anna Arabindan-Kesson’s talk focuses on the ways digital tools can be used to create alternative spaces of archival organization, exploration, and interpretation. It centers on the project Art Hx: Visual and Medical Legacies of British Colonialism, and the tensions and opportunities it raises for reimagining practices of interpretation and care in our engagement with colonial objects, archives, and histories.

<strong>October 6 at 12:15 pm</strong><br />
Zoom</p>
<p>The prevailing narrative of American fashion prioritizes sportswear and casual clothing, access and affordability—glorifying brands rather than creative individuals. While some major names in the industry are well known, many designers worked on Seventh Avenue, but ‘behind the label,’ or pioneered their own enterprises. Recent scholarship is starting to bring their work and careers to light. <strong>Nancy B. Deihl’s</strong> presentation focuses on the research methods and materials—and the ultimate discoveries—behind two book chapters on two unsung Black fashion designers: Zelda Wynn Valdes and Wesley Tann.</p>

<strong>October 7 at 12:15 pm</strong><br />
Zoom</p>
<p><b>Anna Arabindan-Kesson’s</b> talk focuses on the ways digital tools can be used to create alternative spaces of archival organization, exploration, and interpretation. It centers on the project <i>Art Hx: Visual and Medical Legacies of British Colonialism</i>, and the tensions and opportunities it raises for reimagining practices of interpretation and care in our engagement with colonial objects, archives, and histories.</p>
