Traditions: observance or departure
13-15 May 2022 – Oamaru Opera House, Oamaru
The theme for the 2022 symposium provides space to explore how various traditions inform our understandings of costumes and textiles. Given it is the 20th anniversary of CTANZ in 2022 there is also scope to reflect on our own history over the last two decades.
We invite papers of 20 minutes duration followed by Q&A on topics that explore aspects of Traditions, including but not limited to:
- observances and/or departures
- kōrero tuku iho
- patterns, colours and labels
- youth/generational viewpoints
- contemporary takes and innovations
- performance
- tactility
- liberation and constraint
- reminiscence and memories
If you have any queries regarding possible paper topics/discussions please contact Chloe Searle csearle@waitaki.govt.nz or Sue McLean hello@mcleanandco.nz
