In her shoes

This research aims to analyse what most touches women's skin and experiences: their clothing. Clothing is a form of identity across cultures and time.  The author encourages us to get to know women's lives and experiences through "I suoi panni"

Clothes accompany women through the different stages of their lives, forming a strong physical relationship that is influenced by tradition, innovation, social roles and dynamics, and the relationship between different generations. This makes fabric a vehicle for identity and memory.

Today, archives play a pivotal role in disseminating visual culture, digitising entire collections, and promoting visual heritage. This broadens the possibilities for enjoyment and stimulates research and the development of educational programmes, which are essential for passing on history to future generations. Public domain images allow us to freely draw on collective memory by using and reworking images in creative ways.

This project aims to explore the relationship between women and clothing. A visual narrative is created by simulating textile regeneration processes. Through archival research, images in the public domain can be recovered and given a new lease of life, thereby enhancing visual culture and, as with textile sustainability, reflecting on the issue of overproduction.
