Body Hair in Early Modern Visual Culture
Florenz (IT) > 24.10 - 25.10.2025
While long overlooked in art historical studies, over the past two decades body hair has emerged as a significant field of research, offering new perspectives on Early Modern visual culture. The presence or absence of body hair serves as an indicator of aesthetic (or artistic) preferences and prevailing social norms specific to certain periods and locations, revealing complex intersections between art and real life.This two-day workshop aims to explore the multiple dimensions of body hair in visual culture through an interdisciplinary approach. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following themes: Gender and Social Norms. Religious and Symbolic Dimensions. Artistic Theory and Practice. Cultural and Geographic Variations.

The Digital Multilogue on fashion Education 2025
Thema: Learning to Walk, Walking to Learn.
Zoom > 20.11.2025
The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education wants to create connections and actions within and across different fashion learning cultures and contexts. It was founded in 2019 as a participatory and outcome-oriented space and a series of conferences focused on the learning and teaching of fashion. It aims to explore and illustrate the diversity and complexity of the field and the practices of fashion education, and to foster a greater understanding of its pasts, presents and futures – methods, values and didactic, pedagogic and epistemological questions – creating a global exchange to inspire mutual learning, collaborative research and shared action.
Die Multilogues werden von Franziska Schreiber und Dr. Renate Stauss organisiert, die von ihrer Liebe zum Modemachen und -tragen, zum Lernen und Denken durch Mode und ihrem Glauben an ihr verbindendes, erzieherisches und transformatives Potenzial zusammengebracht und angetrieben werden.
A History of Textile Cleanliness
Bern (CH) > 28.05. –29.05.2026
Eingabeschluss: 30.09.2025
A History of Textile Cleanliness: Washing and Perfuming Fabrics from the Medieval to the Modern Period.
In 2024, the Sleeping Beauties exhibition at the MET (New York) engaged visitors in the museum experience by recreating the displayed dresses’ scents, identified through chromatographic analysis to illuminate their history and relationship to bodily senses. The analyses and interpretations published in the catalogue reveal not only the presence of perfumes but also traces of cosmetics, sebum, polluted air, and wine, among other aromas. While the poetic resonance of these sensory traces may evoke the ephemeral existence of these garments, their scents have not always been perceived as desirable. On the contrary, the history of textiles and clothing is deeply intertwined with practices of washing, stain removal, deodorisation, and perfuming, all of which were designed to ensure their longevity and reusability. This international conference seeks to explore these practices and their significance in textile history.
The historical study of textile cleaning has emerged at the intersection of cultural history, material culture studies, sensory studies, economic history, and archaeology. While textile production, trade, and consumption have been well-documented, research into the maintenance and cleaning of textiles – both as part of everyday domestic practices and in the care of symbolically significant textiles (such as liturgical garments and ceremonial fabrics) – has only recently gained scholarly attention.
