Fashioncast®Episode #52, October 8, 2024Dr. Alison Matthews David, Toxic Textiles (Part 2): Fashion's History of Silent ConsentThis episode is Part 2 of a three-part series on toxic textiles and features Dr. Alison Matthews David, award-winning author, professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, and fashion activist.  Dr. Matthew David's ground-breaking fashion history classic Fashion Victims, will mark its tenth anniversary in 2025 and has become the go to art fashion history text in fashion colleges around the globe.Tying together over a hundred years of the fashion industry's indifference to the toxic manufacturing of apparel, Matthews David explains in spell-binding detail the dangers of fashion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  For example, she highlights damning evidence that the industry was aware of the effects of mercury poisoning in workers for 200 years!It's fascinating to listen to Matthews David's passion about the comparison of toxicity in apparel between the 20th and 21st centuries.  Unfortunately, given advances in plastics and the chemicals used to manufacture synthetic textiles, not much has changed--fashion is still one of the most polluting industries on earth.Matthews David does concede there is a small movement within the industry about the overuse of cheap toxins.  Fashion college students seem adamant about making meaningful progress by insisting on the use of non-toxic fabrics in design. Further, a slew of upstart fashion brands is manufacturing non-toxic clothing and making inroads in educating the public and the industry about the real health effects of toxic apparel.When Matthews David isn't teaching, researching, and writing, she can be found coordinating collaborations with museums about the history of toxicity in fashion.  Currently, she has an exhibit at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada.While the use of toxic textiles is a grave issue within the fashion industry, understanding the history of the ongoing problem is critical to gain perspective and make future changes.  Matthews David exhaustive research methodology and prolific authorship on the topic continues to be a godsend to the industry and will undoubtedly prove to be extremely helpful in solving this menacing problem.  Enjoy!Alison Matthews David | Department of Art History (utoronto.ca)Fashion Victims: The Dangers of Dress Past and Present https://a.co/d/b8wemri

From absurd web beginnings to some misplaced national pride, tech folklore never disappoints. A mouthful of a name that could make even the most patient typist weep, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web," could have single-handedly crashed Netscape Navigator. Meanwhile, the digital world's party crasher, Error 404's origin story - linked to CERN's room 404 - proves even glitches have intriguing backstories. Closer to home, Nilesh's trip to Mumbai's Panjrapur water plant uncovered a juicy tidbit about BMC's potential entrepreneurial foray in the water business. And Sheetal's pilgrimage to Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum shattered our collective illusion - turns out, our favourite "Indian" shoe brand has been international all along, leaving millions of Indians feeling somewhat... misled.

In one of our favorite—and certainly the most sprawling—Shoecast episodes to date, Ben chats with Elizabeth Semmelhack, director and curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada. Which I believe is safe to say—thanks to more than 15,000 shoes, boots, and related artifacts covering 4,500 years of human history—is the world's preeminent dedicated shoe archive and museum. We follow Bata's mission of telling the history of humanity through shoes, starting with  how and where shoes even emerged, then covering everything from King Tut's gold sandals, to how high heels were originally designed for THE MOST RUGGED OF MEN, to why sizing is such a mess from a historical perspective, and how the world's most momentous wars have been won and lost because of...boots. 

For most of their history, High Heels were resolutely masculine. The most manly of manly footwear. How did they turn into burning icons of femininity? And now that the heyday of women's high heels is over, what lies ahead for them?Dallas's guest today is Elizabeth Semmelhack, Director and Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum.Edited by Tom Delargy, Produced by Alex Carlon, Senior Producer is Charlotte LongGet 50% off your first 3 months with code PATENTED.

From the running boom at the end of the 19th century to a lockdown-inspired desire to lace up, running shoes have evolved to fit the shape of our lives for over 150 years. Charlotte Stavrou and Amit Katwala explore how they keep pace with trends, innovations, and even our ambitions. Thomas Turner, author of The Sport Shoe: A History from Field to Fashion, reveals the role of Victorian periodicals in spreading tips and recommendations to fellow runners. Elizabeth Semmelhack, director and senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, takes us to 1970s California where running shoes signalled a new kind of aspiration for baby boomers, driven by new brands and mass marketing. Dr D'Wayne Edwards, sports footwear designer and founder of Pensole Lewis College, shares insider stories of being one of just two black footwear designers when he started in 1989, and how he's bringing a more diverse cohort into the industry today. Meanwhile, Jessica Morgan, journalist, and editor, unboxes a memory of a special pair of running shoes that saw her through her darkest times. And we jog down to Hackney Downs park in east London to meet Michael Doughty from Hylo Athletics who left a career in football to set up a running shoe company with green ambitions.

Today's guest is Elizabeth Semmhack, the director of a Museum, and not just any Museum but one that I hold particularly close to my heart: The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada.  The reason it's close to my heart is because it was founded by my late grandmother Sonja Bata. In 1946, she married my grandfather who was rebuilding his family's footwear business. Together, they travelled the world and through these travels, she developed a passion for collecting historic shoes that best represented their cultures and environments. After decades of travelling, she'd accumulated a collection of shoes and as one does, in 1995, she founded this museum. If ever you're in Toronto, I really recommend the Bata Shoe Museum, it's an amazing institution and today the Museum has a collection of over 15,000 pairs, with footwear from all eras and regions. One of my grandmother's passions was the Arctic regions of northern Canada, and so there's an amazing collection of circumpolar footwear from local indigenous groups from that region, with whom the Museum works regularly to maintain, preserve and showcase that shoe-making heritage.  Elizabeth Semmelhack has published several excellent coffee-table books that show the Museum's collection. In this interview, I discuss with her the role of footwear in societies, as shown through the great books that she's put together. In this episode, we discuss sneakers, circumpolar boots, virtual footwear and many others. In this episode, we talked about the following books: Out of the Box by Elizabeth Semmelhack The World At Your Feet: Bata Show Museum, 2019 Future Now by Elizabeth Semmelhack A Taste for China by Eugenia Zuroski Jenkins Precious Bane by Mary Bane Visit the Bata Shoe Museum: https://batashoemuseum.ca/ Follow me @litwithcharles for more book reviews and recommendations!

For years women working in certain jobs, such as banking or retail, have had to wear high heels as part of the company's dress code. But now women around the world are fighting for the right to choose their own shoes at work. Elizabeth Semmelhack, the director and senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in the Canadian city of Toronto tells us the history of the high heel and its journey from the battlefield to the boardroom. Ally Murphy, a former flight attendant, describes the pain caused to cabin crew who are made to wear high heels at work. Nicola Thorp, who led a campaign in the UK to make it illegal for companies to force workers to wear high heels, says many companies are now changing their shoe policies because they don't want the bad publicity. Change is slower in Japan, however, where supporters of the #KuToo movement continue to campaign against mandatory high heels at work. The BBC's Singapore correspondent, Mariko Oi, who is from Japan, tells us how corporate dress and expectations are still firmly embedded into Japanese culture. Then we travel to the Indian capital, Delhi, to find out if the pandemic has changed companies' attitudes to workwear there.

Hello Backstory fans!..Our episode this week is another really interesting one where we talk with director Sean Cisterna, and journalist and author Filipe Leite, whose epic adventure is the subject of thier documentary: The Long Rider. We talk with Sean about how the project came to be, and the challenges he faced in sifting through a mountain of video to tell Filipe's story in a compelling fashion. Filipe talks about his life changing journey, and his own challenges he faced along the way, as well as the motivation it takes to plan, attempt, and ultimately finish such an amazing feat. It is a truly inspiring story of courage, drive, and, maybe, to some, a dose of craziness. We admire Filipe's adventurous spirit, and Sean's ability to tell this story, that we know you will want to hear more about. The Long Rider: A documentary/western , the film follows Filipe Leite, an aspiring journalist who leaves his adoptive home of Canada on an epic quest to ride from Calgary to his family's home in Brazil - and later beyond - entirely on horseback. Inspired by Aimé Tschiffely's 1925 equestrian journey, Filipe's 8 year odyssey of over 25,000 kms across 12 international borders, sees the young immigrant battle intense heat, drought, speeding transport trucks, nature's wrath and corrupt border guards on his history-making long ride home. Sean Cisterna Bio: Sean Cisterna is a multi award-winning and versatile film director. His latest film is the feature documentary The Long Rider (2022), the expansive and inspiring story of Filipe Masetti Leite's journey from Canada to Brazil entirely on horseback, and filmed in 13 different countries. Cisterna found success with From the Vine (2020), an international coproduction starring Emmy winner Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix, Memento, The Sopranos), and distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films. Cisterna directed the acclaimed cancer drama Kiss and Cry (2017), which topped the Canadian box office, and is currently streaming on Netflix worldwide. His 2015 feature Full Out, starring Jennifer Beals (Flashdance, The L Word), is based on the true story of gymnast Ariana Berlin. The film was broadcast on NBC, now residing with Netflix Worldwide and Disney Europe. Cisterna was awarded a Canada 150 Citizenship Award by the Federal Government for his dedication to and community engagement in the arts.   Filipe Masetti Leite Bio: Filipe Masetti Leite is a world-renowned Long Rider, award-winning journalist, and best-selling author. The Brazilian born cowboy is the youngest person in the world to cross the Americas on horseback. In 2020 he was chosen as the Calgary Stampede's Grand Marshal and ‘white-hatted' by Mayor Naheed Nenshi. He is the author of the best-sellers, Long Ride Home (soon to be a motion picture) and Long Ride to the End of the World, published in Portuguese (Harper Collins) and English, soon to be released in Spanish. Filipe is a regular contributor to The Toronto Star, a frequent guest on Rede Globo's Fantastico, Brazil's most watched Sunday night television show, and is writing his third memoir, Last Long Ride. His feature Documentary, The Long Rider, will be released in 2022 on Super Channel and Amazon Prime Canada. The first pair of boots he wore on his Long Ride are on display at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto and two statues, more than five meters tall, have been erected in Brazil to celebrate his feat.

High heels have long been the domain of women--but first they were worn by men. This week, we revisit our interview with Bata Shoe Museum Senior Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack that tracks the evolution of the high heel as worn by male cavalry to "irrational" women.

In this episode, host Ben Hartley explores the world of fashion. Starting the episode, we hear from designer Anna Sui, senior critic-at-large for Washington Post Robin Givhan, fashion historian Dr. Valerie Steele, and fashion director & chief fashion critic at The New York Times Vanessa Friedman, as they share their thoughts on what fashion means to them. Later on, Elizabeth Semmelhack, the director and senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, discusses the history and culture of footwear. After, costume designer Raven Ong shares his experience designing costumes for shows in the Philippines and how he later brought his love for color to his work in the United States. Finally, we finish this episode with not one but TWO National Arts Club member profiles. First, Nina Urban tells us about her passion for dressing up.

Many believe high heels make women look good. It's no surprise that the Cannes Film Festival's organisers seem to favour having stars walking up the red carpet in them. But all this glam comes at a cost: wearing heels over 10cm high can damage your ankles.A study by the Hanseo University in South Korea suggests that continuous wearing exposes women to the risk of strains and makes them prone to losing their balance.A total of 40 women who wear high heels at least three times a week took part in the study. The strength of their ankles was measured regularly and two of the four main muscles became dominant after a period of between one and three years. It created an imbalance in their feet.Dr Yong-Seok Jee from Hanseo University said that the habit of wearing heels can result in deformed feet, back pain and unhealthy walking patterns. He recommends women limit the use of these kinds of shoes and exercise their ankle muscles properly.High heels are considered by some sexy and feminine, but ironically the fashion started with men's feet. These shoes were a form of riding footwear, and would be seen on the feet of 17th Century Persian soldiers. Elizabeth Semmelhack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto says: "When the soldier stood up in his stirrups, the heel helped him to secure his stance so that he could shoot his bow and arrow more effectively."Before becoming a staple of modern women's wardrobes, high heels were used by Louis XIV of France. These shoes were status symbols. Let's face it - nothing screams privilege like uncomfortable, luxurious and impractical clothing. They say the wearer doesn't have to work in fields or walk very far.What do you think: are high heels a symbol of women's elevation in society or just something to be booted out of fashion?词汇表glam （口语）魅力an ankle 脚踝a strain 扭伤，拉伤to be prone (to something) 易于…的balance 平衡a muscle 肌肉an imbalance 不平衡to be deformed 变形的，畸形的footwear 鞋类（总称）a stirrup 马镫impractical 不实用的to boot out 赶出去，赶走

High heels have been around since as early as the 10th century. Today we see them as a cornerstone of footwear fashion, with models strutting their stuff on the catwalk in heels of varying colours and styles. But how has this impractical, even masochistic piece of design become so gender-specific and has it always been this way? Greg Jenner discusses the history of high-heeled shoes with Dr Elizabeth Semmelhack from the Bata Shoe Museum and with returning comedian Lauren Pattison.

Do you remember your first pair of Docs? We go back to February, when Dr. Martens hit the London Stock Exchange. In a conversation with Matt Galloway, we hear about the brand's humble beginnings, and lasting appeal, from Elizabeth Semmelhack, creative director and senior curator at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, and Andrew Groves, professor of fashion design at University of Westminster in London.

The Vault of Silliness has produced a tape labeled July 20th and 21st , 1996, though it was ‘Friday night,’ Norm was on at midnight so it’s Saturday morning the 21st. Now that I’ve bored you with that info let’s move on. I’ll call this episode, “Talk and Callers.” I found this a great example of a ‘regular’ Norm Show. No Dumb Birthday Game. Just talk and callers. Tom Howie is producing. We begin with Norm and I hanging out and talking about the 100th Anniversary of Revere Beach – The Nation’s First Public Beach. There are references to the first guest, Edward Maeder, who was the Director of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. The show comes full circle at the end when a caller talks about the guest as well. Unfortunately, the interview was not included here. Darn it! This is one of those times (and there’ll be many more) where I wish I had access to the WBZ logger tapes to comb through them and extract these interviews. Somehow, talk of Revere Beach and shoes leads to stand-up comedy and particularly a comedian whom Norm really enjoyed, the late Richard Jeni. Then we move on to water quality and back to Revere Beach where Norm recalls, with great detail, a life-changing experience he had there. You won’t want to miss that. Then we move on to Ruth (“Dave Maynard’s Ruth’). She and Norm discuss a variety of topics including the WBZ Farmstand, which was being held a week later than usual due to the party being planned for WBZ’s 75th Anniversary. And Norm discloses his secret energy booster he used in his boxing days that prepared him for 15 rounds of heavyweight battle. We also learn that for all the traveling Dave Maynard would do and advertise Norm Nathan, that’s right – Norm Nathan was heading up a cruise to Bermuda! Stay tuned to hear the commercial promo for that later in the program. Bob in Pennsylvania talks road construction history. We have a caller who’s owned a barbershop for 32 years in downtown Boston. The tape then moves to side B and later in the morning. The exuberant David from Weymouth with a great story. Lisa who’s interested and frustrated by computers. Norm tells a sweet story about visiting Italy. Anne from Lowell sings a song. Norm does some on-air editing of two news briefs. And Norm’s new best friend, Tom, wraps up the night with fun call. We close with a little news from Bill Lawrence on the ’96 Olympics. Commercials featured: WBZ Traffic on the 3’s Promo Lippincott Dental with a weird offer Majesty Cruise Lines and their Jazz and Blues Cruise to Bermuda with Norm! A TV Guide subscription spot with a bonus gift that may be too had to pass up! And speaking of passing…a commercial for the Cremation Society of Massachusetts. Did I make an ash of myself with that joke? Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that broadcasting is for casual, silly people and Norm is a very serious person who should not be in broadcasting.

Sonja Bata was a young bride from Switzerland when she settled in Ontario with her husband Thomas shortly after the end of World War 2. She joined him in the challenging task of building and expanding the Canadian branch of the world-renowned Bata Shoe Company. Their partnership, both as husband and wife, and business partners, is the stuff of legend. And in this episode of Countless Journeys we hear from their daughter Christine Schmidt, about what drove her mother's incredible success, which apart from the business, included a rich volunteer life, as well as the creation of the Bata Shoe Museum, home to the world's largest collection of footwear. “They found Canada as a fairly young country, just a land of incredible opportunity where you could if you really wanted to do something, you could jump right in and you could do it.”

Death by outfit isn't something featured in the game of Clue but it could be. Our ancestors lured to the new bright colors of the nineteenth century wore garments poisoned with arsenic and mercury, perhaps hurrying along their deaths. Not that you're likely to see that as a cause on a death certificate. These garments continue to be harmful to curators today with long lasting toxins. You've probably never thought about fashion history as a dangerous profession, but this episode will change your mind.  My guest is a fashion historian who studies toxic fashion and now clothing adaptations worn by a criminal element.  Both topics are fascinating glimpses into what our ancestors wore, why they wore them, and the effects of doing so. Related Episodes:Episode 72: Wearing the Past: A Modern Woman's Fascination with Period DressEpisode 106: French Fashion, World War I and Your AncestorsLinks:Fashion StudiesSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

  Elizabeth Semmelhack: The World’s Foremost Shoe Curator   Go ahead, try it, Google the following, “the world’s foremost shoe curator?”  Who appears on your screen?  Elizabeth Semmelhack!  And, it’s no surprise.  The Creative Director and Senior Curator at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada, began her career at the renowned gallery in 2000 with little knowledge in footwear and has become the shoe sage of the world.  Since her tenure, Semmelhack has curated over 20 exhibitions, written more than 30 articles and authored eleven books about historical and contemporary footwear. Semmelhack’s knowledge of the varied subjects related to footwear including key historical events, generational culture and fashion, manufacturing processes, and even societal class hierarchies is extraordinary.  Her shoe and fashion anecdotes are so mesmerizing, it’s impossible not to be captivated and left yearning for more.  In one segment, Semmelhack provides one of the most enlightening explanations for fashion attire and social class you’ll ever hear.  Adding depth to shoe knowledge and design on this special episode was guest host Aki Choklat, Fashion Accessories Chair, College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan, and international shoe designer.  Aki provided a robust collegial shoe discussion with Elizabeth as the interview spanned the invention of high heels in the 10th century to the latest collaboration between celebrities and famous sneaker brands. Semmelhack’s passion in her quest to discover every last relevant detail about the ubiquitous shoe is obvious.  It’s fascinating, and fun, to hear her wax eloquent about human history in such an accurate manner based on footwear.  Indeed, in her latest book, Sneakers x Culture: Collab, released in 2019, Semmelhack brings her 20-year shoe curating knowledge full circle to contemporary dress and culture masterfully explaining the art of sneaker brand and celebrity collaboration.  From concept and design to manufacturing, marketing and sales, the book casts new light on the dominant role sneakers play in fashion and culture. Finally, Semmelhack ends the interview offering rare honest advice to those entering the pursuit of art history, curating, fashion or design--"it’s hard work!”  Those words should leave little doubt how Elizabeth Semmelhack became the world’s foremost shoe curator! Enjoy!

The technology we talk about on this show is pretty cool, but what’s function without form, right? Thankfully, there’s plenty of both to go around, as Electric Runway’s founder Amanda Cosco drops by to talk about. TL;DR — there’s a lot of cool ways to use XR to stay in-fashion, from virtual try-ons, to AR-enabled hair colour-changing mirrors. Alan: Today’s guest is a great friend of mine; Amanda Cosco, CEO of Electric Runway. One part geek, the other part chic; Amanda Cosco is a leading voice in the intersection of fashion and technology. Through her work with Electric Runway, Amanda is committed to bridging the gap between these two seemingly opposite industries, to help humanize technology, and help push the fashion industry into the future. In addition to contributing to notable publications such as WWD, Toronto Star, and Wearable, Amanda shares her insights through talks given on both local and international stages. She’s made several radio and TV appearances, including CBC’s The Goods and TVO's The Agenda. She’s been recognized as a top woman in wearable technology, as well as a key thinker on the future of fashion. As a consultant, Amanda shares her expertise in the innovation economy to help future-proof business models and save her clients time and money. Amanda earned a master’s degree of arts from Ryerson in Toronto, and prior to that she graduated from York University. She holds a certificate of digital media skills from OCAD University. And she’s the chair of the Fashion and Business Management Professional Advisory Committee at Centennial College, as well as the Board of Champions at the Bata Shoe Museum. If you want to learn more about Amanda and her company, Electric Runway, visit electricrunway.com. Amanda, welcome to the show. Amanda: Thanks so much for having me, Alan, and thanks for that kind introduction. Alan: It’s my absolute pleasure. I’m so excited. You are a leader in this industry. You’ve been in the wearable space forever. Tell us how you got started in this. Amanda: Well, Electric Runway actually began with a future fashion runway show that I curated for the Maker Festival in Toronto. So the brand very much has its roots in performance and the actual runway, but it’s evolved over the years. And I had been a part of the burgeoning wearable technology scene in Toronto. And it wasn’t until I covered a technology festival in Toronto and had the opportunity to interview a cyborg — a self-identified cyborg — for the Globe and Mail and did a story on him. It wasn’t until then that I realized that wearable computing is absolutely going to change us, as humans. And that’s when I decided to focus my career as a journalist and entrepreneur on technology on the body. And that’s also the time that Electric Runway began. And it quickly became the umbrella under which I do lots of speaking and events and curation, in order to just bring everything together, that’s going on in this exciting industry. And what’s really great about it, is that being focused on fashion and beauty gives me a really specific lens, through which I can view technological innovations like augmented reality and virtual reality. So, rather than trying to cover everything that’s happening in technology — which is impossible these days, because technology is disrupting every industry — I’m allowed to sit in this niche of fashion, beauty, retail, consumer experiences and really just talk about how emerging technologies are brushing elbows with these innovations. Alan: Incredible. So you’ve seen a lot of technologies in the fashion space. With respect to virtual/augmented/mixed reality, I know you hosted an event — about a

What's in a shoe - apart from a foot? Shoes can be so much more than a protection and ‘dressing' of our feet: from Egyptian pharaohs to European paupers, footwear has been linked not just with the wearer's social and economic standing but also cultural identity, personality and even moral values. Rajan Datar follows the history of footwear with the help of Elizabeth Semmelhack, Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto; Giorgio Riello, Professor of Global History and Culture at the University of Warwick; sports shoe historian Thomas Turner; and footwear researcher at the KASK School of Arts in Gent, Catherine Willems.

One of the many names for a cobbler: Apple John This month we're diving deep into the history of a little Ontario town built by one of the biggest shoe companies in the world. We're also fully committing to the pun game in our food segment, making—you guessed it—cobbler. Many thanks to Erin Baxter and the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto for their willingness to chat with us and for providing such a valuable resource. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: An upcoming exhibit at the Beatty Museum, and specifically an in-development, augmented reality experience that will help put collection pieces into virtual context. Much inspiration for her own work! Torey: A 2016 event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London that featured one of my favourite podcasts.

There are various sides in a debate, then there are the facts. The stature of Edward Cornwallis has been the target of vandals in recent years. The City of Halifax has since removed the statue at the behest of the province's Mi"kmaq indigenous groups. PHOTO: Pierre Poirier -CBC The indigenous Mi"kmaq of Nova Scotia have accused the founder of Halifax of atrocities for a proclamation issued in the mid 1700's of a bounty on Mi"kmaq in an attempt to wipe them out. There are claims the bounty was on Indigenous men  women or children.  Leo J Deveau is a member of the Royal Society of Nova Scotia History, and a board member of the Halifax Military Heritage Preservation Society and done extensive research into the early period on Nova Scotia's history and says, the claims are exaggerated, and by today's standards nobody was blameless in terms of atrocities.

As technology advances, many jobs will be lost and others will be created. (Koji Sasahara/ AP Photo) The development of artificial intelligence along with great advances in robotics means that more and more jobs can be performed by machines and algorithms. Autonomous trucks are already replacing drivers of the huge mining trucks, cashiers at supermarkets and retail stores are being replaced by automated equipment, even baristas can be replaced along with a great many other jobs.

The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto may have an unconventional focus, but visitors quickly come to appreciate the artful shoe exhibits and how these material objects have been put into social context. Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack will share some of the ways the museum has approached its subject matter and connected with the community through partnerships.
