Green Armor: Wrap, Protect, Cover, Perform
GREEN ARMOR: Wrap, Protect, Cover, Perform was curated from materials in the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art to explore and celebrate the power of the color green as a form of armor throughout fashion history. The exhibit was a rapid fashion curation project spearheaded by undergraduate and graduate students in Dr. Denise Green’s “Curating Fashion Exhibitions” course and was curated in response to the COVID-19 campus climate and the Cornell Society for the Humanities 2020-2021 “Fabrication” theme. Green Armor was a multi-sited exhibit: the first site was the Human Ecology Building’s ground floor display cases (Level T), which ran October 5, 2020 – November 10, 2020; the second site, GREEN ARMOR: The Playwrights (In Three Acts), was on display in the Opatrny Gallery in the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, October 20 – November 2, 2020.
