Clothing the Pandemic’ Workshop aims to offer a place for sharing experience and knowledge. It will help to connect people and institutions (international curators and conservators, historians, museums, and the global public) at a time when we are all physically distant from one another.

The workshop is seeking to understand how to document the Material Culture of the Pandemic; to develop Strategies and to face Challenges.

The online workshop, Part II, focuses on Conservation and Preservation Processes through the collect of covid-19 face masks during the Pandemic. Kate Seymour, Chair of ICOM CC will moderate the session.

Beatrice Behlen, Museum of London; Sarah Benson and Anna Lagana, working group leaders of ICOM CC: Textile; Modern Materials and Contemporary Art, are the sessions’ panelists.

Free online event upon registration only.
