All ritualistic behaviour requires a visual setting. It most important part is clothing. The right choice of garment proves commitment to the ritual and knowledge of the rules that govern it. The ritual power of fashion is the infinite and ever-changing field of researches.

The Power of Collecting and Collections (joint session with GLASS, ICDAD)

Collecting as a practice and the collections that result from this practice are crucial for museums. Collecting and collections embody power on many different levels – providing insights and basic knowledge, illustrating specific practices of our work to the widest audiences, and forming a basis for contextualizing our world. How have museums, collecting, and collections influenced communities? How have groundbreaking exhibitions impacted museums and collections? We encourage original papers that discuss the practice and results of collecting as powerful tools in the fields of decorative arts and design, glass, and costume.
