We all wear clothing… 

We all have rituals…

We all are confronted with life’s biggest questions…

During the evening visitors will experience three performances: 
“What does faith mean to you?”—an interactive performance led by Korina Emmerich from Relative Arts, followed by two pieces by the Gospel Chorus as directed by Charlotte Small from the College of Performing Arts and the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. 

This exhibition seeks to enable visitors to better understand how our embodiment, dress, and spiritual practices can generate critical, integrated approaches to fashion, creative making, and scholarship contributing to the discourse on dress and identity within the fields of fashion and religious studies.
