SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Getting in Touch with Aegean Dress History
DESCRIPTION:How do archaeologists study the production and consumption of clothes in prehistoric times? In what ways was dress important in prehistoric communities? Why should contemporary fashion designers learn about textile archaeology and dressing in antiquity? After briefly presenting the fundamentals of practicing textile archaeology without archaeological textiles—the most common case for archaeological projects in prehistory—and reviewing the technology and the practices used\, Mina Nikolovieni will introduce ways of examining the notion of dress for early Greek communities. \nGerasimoula Ioanna (Mina) Nikolovieni (PhD candidate\, Brown University\, Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World) is examining cloth production and dress in early Greece. Working on the archaeology of textile production and dress from prehistoric and historic sites\, Nikolovieni has worked in the Greek Archaeological Service and on other archaeological projects. \nGlobally Connected @ FIT is hosted by the Office of International Programs\, History of Art\, and the Cultural Fellows. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.
