- Description
- Join us for a virtual presentation by BFA students from the Textile/Surface Design department who will introduce us to their personal and innovative design concepts for hand screen-printed commemorative scarves - each one a wearable reminder of the significance of the UN charter 80 years after its signing.
- They were created in the FIT course 'TD 361 Screen Printing Scarves: A Global Perspective' taught by Professor Susanne Goetz, that approaches scarves as more than just a decorative accessory, but as a powerful medium for self-expression, cultural identity, and social commentary. The students researched the diverse meanings and uses of scarves in specific historical, geographic, and cultural contexts and studied historic and contemporary references.
- The scarves will be exhibited at the United Nations, December 2-30, 2025, in the Lobby of the Albano Building, 305 East 46TH St, and at FIT in the Feldman Lobby from Jan. 21-Feb. 22, 2026.
