Also known as wunderkammern in German\, cabinets of curiosities can be traced back to the early 16th century. They were precursors to the modern museum\, and many included examples of clothing. The exhibition features nearly 200 garments and accessories\, almost exclusively selected from MFIT’s permanent collection\, which are inspired by the breadth of objects collected within the cabinets. The objects on view\, many of which are shown for the first time\, are meant to pique curiosity through their rarity\, beauty\, or originality. \nAn introductory gallery examines the history of cabinets of curiosities\, explaining their significance to the Age of Exploration (15th to 17th centuries)\, their ties to colonialism\, and the need for contemporary museums to be more inclusive and informed about the objects they acquire. It also highlights the interconnections between curiosity\, creativity\, and collecting. A dress by Mary Katrantzou dates to her 10th anniversary collection in 2019\, in which she expressed the urge “to amass like objects of a particular kind\, to record\, to study and identify\, to protect and cherish.” Its intricate patterning includes butterflies and seashells\, both of which are regularly featured in the cabinets. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public. Find out more on The Museum at FIT’s website.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-fashioning-wonder-a-cabinet-of-curiosities-closes/ LOCATION:Special Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public ORGANIZER;CN="The Museum at FIT":MAILTO:museuminfo@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Special Exhibitions Gallery The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250421 DTSTAMP:20260419T123919 CREATED:20250130T205903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250203T190144Z UID:10007585-1745107200-1745193599@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: Social Responsibilities of Museums — Closes DESCRIPTION:January 21–April 20\, 2025 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fourth Floor Exhibit Case \nStudents in FIT’s Art History and Museum Professions program reflected on the social responsibilities of museums in recognition of Black History Month. The Art History and Museum Professions major prepares students for positions in museums and other art institutions\, with a focus on collections management\, development\, education\, public relations\, rights and reproductions\, visitor services\, special events\, and exhibitions. By showcasing books related to five temporary exhibitions hosted by five different New York City museums\, this exhibition\, held at the Gladys Marcus Library’s fourth-floor exhibit case\, hopes to highlight the work being done to uplift marginalized communities. \nShows like the Whitney’s Edges of Ailey and The Met’s Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt 1876–Now provide a look into the world of Black artists and how they have shaped so much of American art and music\, yet their names often remain unspoken. History is littered with forgotten voices\, but large cultural centers can forever change the way something is remembered. Museums hold power\, and with that power comes an obligation to the communities that support them. The types of artwork and artists that museums choose for exhibitions reveal what is valued in society. By highlighting Black and Latin American artists\, New York museums prove that they understand the responsibility they hold\, as they seek to include those who have been on the sidelines for far too long. \nAn opening reception will be held Monday\, February 24\, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. \nCurator: Lisa Yen\nFaculty Advisor: Professor Kyunghee Pyun\, Assistant Chair\, Art History and Museum Professions\nGraphic Designer: Lisa Yen\nContributors: Thursday Abad\, Samantha Barnes\, Ashley Villegas Hernandez\, JaDea Houston\, Cassandra (Cassie) Hughes (students in the Art History and Museum Professions program) \nThis event is part of the FIT Diversity Collective’s Black History Month activities; for a full schedule of activities\, visit fitnyc.edu/blackhistory. \nThis exhibition is for the FIT community only.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-social-responsibilities-of-museums-closes/ LOCATION:Gladys Marcus Library\, Fourth Floor\, Goodman Resource Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ORGANIZER;CN="Kyunghee Pyun":MAILTO:kyunghee_pyun@fitnyc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250421 DTSTAMP:20260419T123919 CREATED:20250311T143415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250311T143415Z UID:10007647-1745107200-1745193599@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Fashion Design AAS Exhibition: Blank Canvas — Closes DESCRIPTION:March 29–April 20\, 2025 \nArt and Design Gallery \nThe Spring 2025 Fashion Design AAS Exhibition\, titled Blank Canvas\, empowers students to showcase their technical expertise and artistic vision.

Among them\, were some of the most prominent Arabophone recording artists of the interwar period. With the collapse of France’s Third Republic in 1940\, Jewish communities from across Morocco\, Algeria\, and Tunisia\, already subject to the strictures of European colonialism\, now found themselves contending with and confronting fascist rule. For musicians\, this also meant removal from the airwaves and the stage. If the Maghrib has long been considered marginal to the historiography joining World War II to the Holocaust\, this talk considers the implications of bringing the “periphery” to the center of the narrative. To do so\, it amplifies an element too often neglected by historians: the realm of the aural. In listening for wartime radio broadcasts and concerts\, following the circulation of phonograph records and songbooks\, and attending to the sounds and silences of the era\, we will ask what music remembers of a history long forgotten. \nChristopher Silver is the Segal Family Associate Professor in Jewish History and Culture at McGill University. Recipient of awards from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, the American Academy of Jewish Research\, the American Institute for Maghrib Studies\, the Association for Recorded Sound Collections\, and the Posen Foundation\, Silver’s scholarship on history\, music\, and the Jewish-Muslim relationship has appeared in many journals including the International Journal of Middle East Studies and Jewish Social Studies. His book Recording History: Jews\, Muslims\, and Music Across Twentieth Century North Africa (Stanford University Press\, 2022) was awarded the L. Carl Brown Book Prize by the American Institute for Maghrib Studies for outstanding book in North African studies (2023) and was recently translated into Arabic. He is also the founder and curator of the website Gharamophone.com\, a digital archive of North African records from the first half of the 20th century. \nThis event is free and open to the public; REGISTER ONLINE.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/sounds-silences-and-echoes-listening-for-world-war-ii-and-the-holocaust-from-north-africa/ LOCATION:Film and Media Screening Room D207\, Pomerantz Center\, New York City \, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture,Public GEO:40.747025;-73.9941136 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Film and Media Screening Room D207 Pomerantz Center New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pomerantz Center:geo:-73.9941136,40.747025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250422T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250422T150000 DTSTAMP:20260419T123919 CREATED:20250313T183714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250313T194108Z UID:10007655-1745326800-1745334000@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:The Best Versions of Ourself Wellness Series: Complete the Campus Crawl with Colleagues DESCRIPTION:Join special guest and the Diversity Collective Academic Administrative Subcommittee (DCAAS) on a short campus walk on Tuesday\, April 22\, at 1 pm\, meeting in the Feldman Center Lobby.
