4. Many Identities - Miren Arzalluz

Europe and Fashion: Questioning Identities and Cultures. EFHA Conference 2018

This paper retraces my trajectory as a fashion curator. As practice made clear, curating also means to deal with a multitude of identities and, to some extent, to umpire them. This presentation focuses on how Arzallus’ experiences as curator at the Cristobal Balenciaga museum in the Basque Country, as a freelance curator working with international institutions, and now at Palais Galliera in Paris, have been marked by a constant negotiation between individual, personal, local, regional, municipal and collective identities, presenting also some of the recurrent difficulties encountered in her curatorial path.
