Changeable Jacket from the Remembering the Future collection

Changeable Jacket by Mika Eubanks
Changeable Jacket from the Remembering the Future collection
Artist Mika Eubanks
Through examination of her family history, Mika Eubanks creates a body of work, Remembering the Future, that explores the importance of preserving the memory of oral traditions, stories and knowledge passed down through generations. Using textile imagery and hand dying techniques, Eubanks creates transformative performance garments. These function as mnemonic devices for various stories and oral traditions told to Eubanks as a child by members of my family. The garments function as wearable art, used in daily activities and sharing rituals, preserving those stories and traditions for future generations in a new and innovative way.

More about RACK: An Experimental Fashion Event 2011

RACK presents bodies of work pushing the boundaries of fashion and costume with performance and sound. Participating artists explore the relationship between culture and the body through originally designed and constructed garments. The annual Experimental Fashion Event is a capstone for students in MICA’s experimental fashion concentration within the Fiber Department. Members of the Multi Media Event class work together for two semesters designing and crafting their own body of work, while working collaboratively to produce a live show. Students present their innovative fashion and costume designs through visually stunning live performances and projected video. The evening will involve more than 150 people—from designers to performers, roving costumed characters, and musicians.
