Queer National Costumes: Creation, History and Future

Queer National Costumes: Creation, History and Future

What will the national costume of the future look like – if it reflects gender diversity and queer reality?
The lecture, "Queer National Costumes: Creation, History and Future," will examine the history of Icelandic national costumes, how they have evolved over time, and how gendered ideas have shaped the creation and use of the costumes. It will also feature Fredy Clue, a Swedish artist who created a genderless national costume that challenges tradition and opens up a new perspective on cultural heritage.
After the lecture, there will be space for open discussion: What could queer and genderless national costumes look like in Iceland? What can be reconsidered – and what do we want to create?
