Abstract
The exhibition is an exploration of Patterns & People, investigating the way that humans interpret, construct, interact with, and classify patterns. Each case presents a different theme: Body Patterns, Communicating Patterns, Producing Patterns, and Designing Patterns. Body Patterns helps understand how scientific classifications reinforced harmful ideologies throughout history and can influence how we see, judge, and treat one another. Communicating Patterns explores patterns in gestures and facial expressions that communicate meaning beyond words, but their interpretation depends on cultural, contextual, and personal experiences. Producing Patterns focuses on the basis of crafting techniques in the production of clothing and textiles and demonstrates how pattern is integral to its processes. Designing Patterns shows how clothing and accessories are more than aesthetic choices and serve as powerful expressions of cultural and personal identity, values, and heritage. The exhibition considers how people classify patterns in different ways depending on cultural context, and it is through this that patterns are assigned their diverse meanings. Classification is the key exhibition concept, which links the four sub-themes and underpins the big idea. Drawing from UCL Collections, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the way people interact with patterns through the themes developed in each case.
