Description
Join the BSM as we welcome renowned fashion historian, curator, and forensic garment analyst Amber Butchart as our 2022 Founder’s lecturer who will discuss her work in forensic garment analysis. In this illustrated talk, she considers the power of old clothes in storytelling across literature and myth, the global problems inherent in our discarded old clothing, and the potential of fashion as a tool for forensic science.
A Q+A and reception will follow the conversation. Guests will also have the opportunity to view the BSM galleries, including our upcoming exhibition OBSESSED: How Shoes Became Objects of Desire that opens to the public on October 19, 2022.
Content Disclaimer: Please note that this talk will deal with themes of death across a broad range of areas and forensic evidence.
