The HoodieThe Hoodie

Under the banner of Uniform for Change, Clothes for Progress is selling 30 hoodies from The Hoodie exhibition. The proceeds from these hoodies, which have been customised with specially designed, screen printed "charity stickers", will be donated to anti-racist initiatives in the Netherlands and beyond.

Interaction designer Florian van Zandwijk guided us through a hoodie-based reflection on reality, and how digital media changes the way we see it.

To conclude The Hoodie Unravelled series, we investigate what makes the hoodie a timeless classic together with renowned high-fashion streetwear designers. What is involved in redesigning, reinterpreting and reinventing the hoodie, and what is needed to keep new designs interesting and innovative?

The concepts of diversity and inclusiveness have come to the fore in recent years, yet we have seen little or no structural change in the staffing of cultural institutions. We do, however, see an increasing number of cultural institutions attempting to attract new target groups (IE young audiences with migrant backgrounds) by means of countless, but always only temporary, innovations. What are the implications of this? Whose lived experiences are put in the spotlight, and who benefits from them?

In this live interview, tour guides Asha and Florian talk to artist Bogomir Doringer about his contribution to the exhibition The Hoodie. Follow it on Instagram!

In the second edition of this in-depth series, we delve into the process of garment-making. What are the meanings of the fabrics a designer chooses to use, and what role does sustainability play in the clothing industry today? Angelica Falkeling, one of the contributors to The Hoodie exhibition, joins other local Rotterdam designers in a discussion on investigating and processing these questions. With Angelica Falkeling, Aynouk Tan and Alexandre Furtado Melville.

In this exhibition and panel discussion, fashion designer and 'youthdem' Sheray Rozenstein links ideas of inner strength with the socio-political and cultural conditions of 'cool'. How does individual self-esteem relate to social marginalisation, and what role does trust in such personal 'greatness' play in youth culture and counterculture? This event is organised as part of The Hoodie Unravelled and Thursday Night Live! with contributions from Concrete Blossom and London-based filmmaker and artist Bafic.
