DRESS CODE

Dress Code brings together around forty artists offering unique views of identity and clothing around the world, from New York drag queens to twins in Nigeria, voodoo rituals in Benin and Togo, zapotec women in Mexico along with more personal photographic investigations. Clothes can arouse desire by sublimating the human body, reveal codes and norms, and be a vector of emancipation or claim. From rites to gender markers, some twenty exhibitions question the relationship between apparel and identity on the individual and collective level. Dress Code is complemented by Sein und Schein (being and appearing), a show proposed by Fotohaus, and Fragiles, a choral project by Tendance Floue inhabited by the tremors rocking our times.
