The UW Textile & Fashion Design Program 2021 Threads event, Reality? will be projected at 8:30 & 9:15 p.m., April 30-May 1, Garver Feed Mill.
Each spring, UW-Madison textile and design students host a public event featuring new fashion creations, and this year s collection takes inspiration from our distance-connected present.
Threads: Reality? emerges as a filmed runway show via large-scale projection at Garver Feed Mill, for a socially distanced audience. Tickets aren t required, but you can RSVP on
Facebook. A virtual exhibition can also be found
here, and a streaming version premieres at 5 pm on Sunday, May 2, here.
press release: This year, reality has changed for all of us. We are physically distant but globally connected. We spend most of our time at home with our families. We see friends and grandparents on zoom. These changes have permeated everything from how we work, how we design, how we think, and how we dream.
