9. Fashion: a culture without borders - Barbara Coutinho

Europe and Fashion: Questioning Identities and Cultures. EFHA Conference 2018

In 2016 MUDE organised the exhibition “Down with the Borders! Live the Design and Arts!” presenting side by side the work made by a hundred national and foreign fashion designers and artists. With this exhibition as an example, the paper develops the museum's exhibition strategy to present fashion in interrelations with other disciplines and creative expressions as a form to reinforce its kaleidoscopic nature and contextualise it in time and space, analysing its representativeness and role in contemporary global and European culture and society.
