Marcin Maciejowski: Let them see us! Image, Attire, Body Group show at the Royal Castle in Warsaw
Attire is a language. From royal robes to the extravagant creations of contemporary fashion visionaries, it constantly signals identity, power, social status, taste, and convictions. It can speak directly, yet also reveal more than we might wish. It can serve as both a tool of oppression and a symbol of liberation. It reflects social change while at the same time connecting with tradition, which it sometimes transforms with irony. Discover an exhibition that, through outstanding works of painting, sculpture, and decorative arts, traces the hidden signs encoded in attire – inviting us to read it like a book.
