Textile and Privilege: Decolonizing Institutional Spaces

Independent curator and editor of Surface Design Journal, Elizabeth Kozlowski will share her professional practice as it relates to curatorial activism (a term coined by Maura Reilly) and the decolonization of museum spaces.

Kozlowski will also provide an overview of her most recent exhibition, Material Domestication which utilizes the framework of traditional fiber-based techniques as sculptural explorations invested in the dismantling of historical markers of gender. In association with The College of Art, Design and Architecture (ADA), Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin.
