DRESSED: THE SECRET LIFE OF CLOTHES

What unconscious thoughts do we express when we dress every day? Can memories, meaning and ideas be wrapped up in a coat? These are the questions that interest Shahidha Bari, as she explores the secret language of our clothes. Ranging freely through literature, art, film and philosophy, Dressed tracks the hidden power of clothes in our culture and our daily lives. From violence and ageing to love and privacy, from the objectification of women to the crisis of masculinity, each garment exposes the story of ourselves.
