Making an Appearance: An International Conference on Fashion, Dress and Consumption. Hosted by The Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, The University of Queensland, in association with the Creative Industries Faculty, QUT, in Brisbane. "This conference brings together scholars, as well as industry practitioners, journalists and local designers, to debate the latest thinking on fashion, identity, the body and consumption. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with the ways dress is now central to much theorising about gender, culture and race. The conference will be the first opportunity in an Australian university for those interested in fashion to discuss and critique its current place, meanings and indeed its future. The broad intention is to foster meaningful dialogue between the academy and industry so that both may benefit from the association. Keynote speakers include - Elizabeth Wilson (UK), Valerie Steele (USA), Christopher Breward (UK), Stella Bruzzi (UK).

Santa Fe, USA |
Silk Painters International (USA, SPIN) are planning a week-long silk painting Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2004. Members welcome to submit work - contact Phillipa Lack for more details. In Phil's words, "It
will be the experience of a lifetime, believe me. Santa Fe is an amazing
place and should be visited.". "Santa Fe, a city of 63,000 people, is situated at 7,000 feet (3218 m) above sea level in a valley between the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges, and it is the oldest capital city in the US. Its rich history and cultural diversity is very apparent in its cathedrals, churches, buildings, and museums. Nearby is the small community of Abiquiu, where Georgia O'Keeffe made her home for many years. The town of Truchas, on the old High Road to Taos, boasts a growing art community. Taos is a one-hour drive to the north."
Let's see if we can get a group of Australians & New Zealanders to attend! Aussies and Kiwi Members wishing to attend can also contact Teena Hughes in Sydney at teena@abfab-australia.com, who will be running a Workshop at the Festival.
