Symposium program tickets are live— Join us for the research symposium ‘Opening up the Fashion Archive’—a two-day program presented by UTS Gallery & Art Collection and UTS Faculty of Design & Society, 11–12 March 2026. Featuring 40+ speakers across floor talks, chaired panels, parallel sessions, hands-on workshops, performances, and international online sessions, the symposium explores the fashion archive as a dynamic, contested, and relational field. Themes span material and intangible histories, digital archives, sustainability and zero-waste design, feminist and decolonial practices, institutional dress collections, wearable tech, craft, and fashion futures. Including patternmaking workshops and live performance alongside panels, this is a deep dive into how scholars and practitioners are working with material, digital, and social forms of archival engagement—actively remaking, rethinking, and reimagining archives and archival practice. Held alongside the UTS Gallery exhibition ‘No place for Mannequins: Remaking the fashion archive’, 12 February – 24 April 2026. The full speaker list and program are now live—book now via Humanitix to secure your place. Link in bio. *** Images: 1.

No place for mannequins is open for visitors! No place for mannequins: Remaking the fashion archive is a group exhibition exploring the shifting form and status of the contemporary fashion archive. In fashion, the archive has long operated as a site of authority, shaping narratives of dress, design, and consumption. No place for mannequins brings together local and international artists and designers who unsettle the fashion archive’s authority and reimagine its foundations. Curated by @t_o_d_d_robinson (UTS) and @ricardabg (RMIT), the exhibition foregrounds critical fashion practices that are reshaping what counts within and beyond the fashion archive. The Library of Unruly Fashion Practices is participating with the project All Work Is Women’s Work, a collaboration with XEROXED. All Work Is Women’s Work is an exploration of feminist labour history and the power of radical publishing. This project uncovers the forgotten story of De Naaistersbond, one of the first all-female labour unions in the Netherlands, and their radical use of print media to challenge patriarchal and capitalist systems in the early 20th century.To coincide with the exhibition, UTS will host Opening Up the Fashion Archive, a two-day symposium taking place between March 11–12 2026, featuring local and international critical fashion practice and research.

Launch of ALL WORK IS WOMEN’S WORK by Library of Unruly Fashion Practices with Emma van Meyeren in conversation with Hanka van der Voet and Beau Bertens at 6:30pm Friday December 19, 6–8pm All Work Is Women’s Work uncovers the forgotten story of The Seamstresses’ Union, one of the first all-female labour unions in the Netherlands, and their radical use of print media to challenge patriarchal and capitalist systems in the early 20th century. This project delves into the struggles and triumphs of working-class women who fought for fair wages, dignity, and autonomy. Through their newspaper, De Naaistersbode (“The Seamstresses’ Courier”), the union created a vital communication channel that connected women across Amsterdam, amplifying their voices and fostering solidarity in the face of exploitation. All Work Is Women’s Work is a feminist intervention into the archives, drawing on Sarah Ahmed’s assertion that “documentation is a feminist project.” It brings to light the radical publishing practices of The Seamstresses’ Union, situating them within a broader history of leftist and anarchist print culture. In a Cixousian act of “writing the body,” the project reinscribes the seamstresses’ struggle into the present through the body of the text, the fabric of the city, and the materiality of dress. By mapping key sites of labour activism and republishing archival materials—realized through an essay by Hanka van der Voet in a publication designed by Beau Bertens, and through the garment publishing platform XEROXED, founded by Alia Mascia—this project reimagines the archive as a space of ‘active recollection’ rather than a static repository. It also provides a sticker with the publication to mark these hidden histories in Amsterdam’s urban landscape. All proceeds from the sale of the Library of Unruly Fashion Practices x XEROXED garments at this launch will be donated to Librarians and Archivists with Palestine. This project was made possible through the AFK and the Nederlandse Kostuumvereniging. @libraryofunrulyfashionpractice @hankavdvoet @beaubertens @xero.xed @aliamascia @her__again @librarianswithpalestine

incredibly happy to share the cover of HET ALTIJD as part of a series of abstracted thermal images made during the closing of De School. During those last hours, I captured the heat that place was giving. Thank you so much for bringing this to life @beaubertens @leendertcs @nathankofiii A few years ago during art school, I wrote a paper on no-photo policies in nightclubs, questioning what would happen to the future memories of queer communities when there is no photographic archive of queer clubbing culture. To contribute in this conceptual manner to the visual memory of @deschoolamsterdam makes me very very happy.
