This exhibition is the result of the course Fashion and Gender; a course combining theoretical texts on gender, age and ethnicity with creative practice in fashion and textiles. Through theoretical discussions on gender norms and ways of undoing them, each student chose a theme that they processed through their own practice. As a result, the exhibition includes a diverse selection of garments, objects, photographs, a video and a zine that invite the viewer to participate in the discussion on sex and the different aspects through which it affects our everyday lives.
