Historical Conference
Welcome to the website of the historical conference of GHD Ubbo Emmius!
On the 14th of June 2024 the Conference Committee of GHD Ubbo Emmius will organise a conference entitled Threads of Identity: The Close Relationship between Clothes and Counterculture
This year, the conference will be dedicated to the connection between clothing and counterculture. It will explore both the evolution of the discipline as well as its social, cultural and political implications. Clothing and counterculture have played a key role in shaping perceptions and understandings of the world throughout history, both within and between cultures.
Clothing is an important part of our identity, after all. Throughout history, clothing has been used as a way to protest against the norm and as a way to form an identity. From flappers in the 1920s to hippies in the 1960s... During this conference, these expressions of identity throughout history will be explored and celebrated.
