Join the Holland Land Office Museum on August 24th for Brandon Brooks, John L. Wehle Gallery curator at Genesee Country Village & Museum, presenting 'Redeeming the Irredeemable: The Diabolical Striped Garment."
The presentation will explore how society has used stripes and striped garments to draw a line between those who are welcome and those who are not. From nefarious criminals, rebels, insurgents, and prisoners, to the middle-class masses, and those wishing to embrace seaside luxury, the history of stripes is full of colorful and conflicting implications.
Extent pieces Bruce & Susan Greene Costume Collection pieces will complement this discussion.
Brooks works with over 400 years of European and American sporting and wildlife art, as well as over 300 years of fashion and textile material culture.
Admission:
- $5 for nonmembers
