Description

Keynote Speakers include: Professor Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds

The Subversive Stitch Revisited: The Politics of Cloth will explore the legacy of Rozsika Parker’s groundbreaking book, The Subversive Stitch: embroidery and the making of the feminine (1984) and two landmark exhibitions from 1988 that developed Parker’s ideas. It will consist of a two day event held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and an online resource that will include documentation of the event. The Subversive Stitch Revisited will be dedicated to the memory of Rozsika Parker, who died in 2010.

Presentations taking place on Friday (29/11/2013) will reflect on the art and feminist debates of the 1970s and 80s from which the exhibitions emerged. It will feature keynote presentations by Griselda Pollock and American artist Elaine Reichek in conversation with Jenni Sorkin (University of California, Santa Barbara). Saturday (30/11/2013) explores the politics of cloth now, focusing on current activity by both women and men that addresses ethical, social and global issues, and on cloth as a subversive strategy.

Speakers and presenters include:Megha Rajguru + Nicola Ashmore, Đorđe Balmazović, Michael Bath, Claire Barber + Rowan Bailey, Lise Bjørne Linnert, Leah Borromeo, Anthea Black + Nicole Burisch, Christine Checinska, Sarah Corbett, Steffi Duarte, Leora Farber, Elke Gaugele, Betsy Greer, Roisin Inglesby, Alexandra Kokoli, Kimberly Lamm, Anne Moore, Brenda Schmahmann, Rose Sinclair, Jenni Sorkin, Matt Smith, Lisa Vinebaum, Liese Van Der Watt.

Please note: Presentations on the first day will be held in the Hochhauser Auditorium and on the second in a large seminar room with a smaller capacity. More tickets are available for the first day than the second and tickets will need to be booked separately for each day. There will be a limited number of discounted tickets for bona fide students on a first-come-first-served basis.

We recommend finding hotels in the Earls Court area which is one stop away from South Kensington on the Underground. A good selection can be found at http://www.booking.com, search term "Earls Court", and refine by price or stars rating.
