The Fitting Room is a project presentation that investigated the Dirndl, a traditional women’s clothing from Austria (and the Bavarian region) as a political site where women navigated the complicated cultural and political power of the clothing. Artists were invited to share stories, listen to the history of each traditional cloth, and practice ethical reflexivity by deconstructing and reassembling the Dirndl.
This process highlighted the role of clothing as political contestation and identity expression within a broader socio-historical context. (Karina R. Indirasari)
