Talk - Bloomsbury and the politics of dress
Organised by : Pallant House Gallery
Join Wendy Hitchmough as she discusses this months theme and her book The Bloomsbury Look.
The Bloomsbury Group developed a particular look that became synonymous with their liberal values and sexual freedoms. When they founded the Omega Workshops it became a brand. This talk establishes the context for Carringtons cropped hair and baggy trousers. It traces the evolution of a radical Omega style of dress and decodes the political statements that the Bloomsbury look projected.
After the talk, you will be able to purchase a copy of The Bloomsbury Look and have it signed by the author.
This talk is part of our April Late event. By purchasing this talk ticket you gain free access to our Galleries, exhibitions and drop-in activities from 5-8.30pm.
