Part of the At The Margins exhibition programme, this talk will focus on the ways in which identity is formed, established, attributed and manifested through textiles and dress objects and practices. It will centre on the personal, the political, the geographical, and the social, addressing issues that articulate notions of belonging and alienation, whether we stand out or fit in. Underpinning this argument, and drawing from the themes of this exhibition, the discussion will consider those considered 'outside' of society, such as the residents of the workhouse at Prindsen, whilst also considering those for whom identity is constructed through national identity and collective belonging.
