Archival Confessions - Re*thinking Wardrobes

Justine has a technical background in tailoring and has previously worked in costume for stage in Mainz and Berlin. Her work explores archival practices and values, a research-led field of study, enlightened through conversations with curators, collection managers and artists. Her practice is defined by an interest in collecting & archiving (on) the body through repurposing materials commonly found in archives, cultivating practices of care—for objects and the body itself. Her approach promotes conscious consumerism and taking stewardship over our belongings, considering garments as markers of our own personal history, while finding techniques to document our experience through making.
