Provocation and Ingenuity: Fashion Insight in the Distant Gaze Exhibition

Time: 10:00

Join us for an event where we will intertwine art, fashion and creativity in a refreshing experience. In the exhibition Distant Gaze, we invite you to discover the fashions of the 1920s and 1930s, which bear witness not only to the outward appearance of the women and men depicted in paintings and sculptures, but also to the social changes and explorations of identity at the time. Through guided tours and workshops, we will explore our fashion heritage together, dispel the stereotypes of the Roaring Twenties and Dark Thirties and awaken our creativity!
