DIAS Guest Lecture: The Fabric of My Life

Marie Louise Bech Nosch, professor at the SAXO-Institute - Archaeology, Ethnology, Greek & Latin, History at the University of Copenhagen



Invited and presented by DIAS Chairs Anne Marie Mai and Klaus Petersen



The Fabric of My Life



The fabric of my life. Memory, clothing and emotion in antiquity and today. From Odysseus to sustainable fashion. With examples from Archaeology and ancient texts, and informed by our recent collection of personal clothing stories from Danes and refugees, we explore together how and why clothing can be tokens of lived life and life stories.
