Reimagining China through Fashion

The Hanfugirls Collective seek to re-examine and re-present the authentic Chinese cultural experiences and educational programmes. Focusing on female empowerment, the group's content will focus on female experiences, identity and representation in history, including concepts of Chinese femininity, role and rights of women in ancient China, courtesan narratives and of course, what fashion, make-up and accessories meant for an ancient Chinese woman.

Reimagining China through FashionSpeaker: Gong Pan Pan (Hanfugirl)Language: English15 Feb (Sat) | 2pm--3.30pmProject Studio #01-02, Stamford Arts Centre155 Waterloo StreetPre-registration requiredWhen one says never judge a person by what he/she wears, it clearly does not refer to the ancient Chinese! Fashion was never frivolous to them who had been codifying their dressing and styling for over 2500 years. From Sogdian-influenced fashion to Tibetan-influenced make-up, stylings of aristocratic women gave important clues of cultural exchanges between ancient China and the world at large. One could catch a glimpse of ancient China and its evolving clothing identities through this talk.DRESSCODEAs no shoes are allowed within the space and attendees will be seated on carpeted flooring, please dress comfortably with easy-to-remove shoes.ACCESSIBILITYPlease inform the organiser beforehand via email (hanfugirl@gmail.com) if you require special assistance and access to and at the venue.PHOTO &amp; VIDEO ADVISORYPlease note that photos and videos of you may be taken during the event for internal reporting, external publicity and marketing purposes.
