Josh T. Franco is an artist and art historian from West Texas who believes that art history is made by hand. Cultured Magazine included this creative powerhouse in their 2026 list of 12 Art-World Tastemakers We're Most Excited About. Franco actually wears four creative hats: artist, art historian, curator and new Exec Dir of US Latinx Art Forum. He grew up immersed in the ever-evolving wonderland his grandfather created in his backyard in Marfa, TX, full of eclectic found objects, sculptures and whimsical installations. Franco's current  exhibition, Where I Learned to Look: Art from the Yard, celebrates the foundational role of yards in shaping contemporary art in America. His forthcoming book, Marfa, Marfa: Rasquachismo and Minimalism in Far West Texas, examines minimalism and the aesthetics that artist Donald Judd brought to Marfa … and how these intersect with "rasquachismo," the sensibility of the oppressed in working class Chicano communities. “I am an artist with an art history PhD. My practice investigates the mechanisms by which knowledge moves intergenerationally,” says. Franco. He's been an art historian with the Smithsonian for over ten years, interacting with some of the most treasured documents ever produced by artists across time. “I believe that every work of art is also a work of art history, because every work of art carries the past.” As the new Executive Director  of US Latinx Art Forum, Franco is committed to celebrating and promoting art by US inhabitants of Latinx descent and their communities to foster equity and growth, and support its practitioners. Have a Swan Dive to share?

Amanda Mason is a senior curator of contemporary conflict at the Imperial War Museums, where she previously worked on the museum's acclaimed Secret War gallery. Chris speaks with her about Spies, Lies and Deception, the IWM's major exhibition on espionage and military deception now showing at IWM North in Manchester until August 31. Drawing on more than sixty original objects, documents, and artifacts — from Operation Mincemeat's pocket litter and Noor Inayat Khan's letters from occupied France to the Portland Spy Ring's suburban cover and the Trent Park eavesdropping operation — the exhibition traces deception from the trenches of the First World War through Cold War suburbia to Bellingcat's open-source unmasking of the Salisbury poisoners and today's deepfake threats, asking not just how deception works but what it costs the people who practice it.

Bearded Vultures have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. Though these majestic raptors are mostly found in Asia and Africa today, they were once abundant in Europe, too. While Bearded Vultures have vanished across much of their original range, their nests remain like time capsules of a bygone era. Researchers analyzed historical nests in southern Spain where the birds haven't been seen in nearly a century. They found thousands of bone fragments, dozens of egg shells — as well as hundreds of human artifacts that were likely added as nesting material. These hoarded items offer an unexpected glimpse of what life was once like for the people and wildlife that thrived in this region. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Today on The Jimmy Barrett Show, Jimmy dives into the debate over the Smithsonian's latest changes and whether America's museums are getting a "woke" makeover. He also recaps the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner and what stood out from the weekend event. Plus, Texas continues to attract massive AI data center investments—but what does that mean for the state's future? Jimmy also examines the role of dark money in shaping political campaigns and influence, and wraps up with a discussion on birth tourism and the ongoing debate over its impact on U.S. immigration policy.

Brandon Zech and Jessica Fuentes discuss Texas' art museums since 2020, including renovations, closures, collaborations, and curatorial shifts. “You think of these kind of smaller-scale, midsize institutions, or even noncollecting kunsthalles, that have smaller budgets ... as being very much affected by leadership and curatorialship transitions because they are, and oftentimes the impact is larger the smaller the organization... but that's also much more true for large multimillion-dollar museums.” See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2026/07/26/art-dirt-the-state-of-texas-museums If you enjoy Glasstire and would like to support our work, please consider donating.

It's not news that museums all around the world contain works of art that have been looted or forcefully taken during colonial rule but is it time they gave them back?  It seems pretty straightforward for an increasing number of people that it is the moral thing to do and that art and artifacts belong in their country of origin. Museums often counteract this by saying, amongst other things, that if they returned these objects they would be left nearly empty, or that these countries or territories no longer exist so where would they go back to, or even that they were legally acquired in the first place. But recently a number of prestigious museums around the world seemed to have had a change of heart and are indeed repatriating works. What are the Parthenon Marbles and where are they from, and why are they in the UK? Will Britain give them back?  ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠What did the Jane Collective do for US women's rights?⁠ ⁠What is tagskryt, the Scandinavian sustainable travel trend?⁠ ⁠Is it time the UK acknowledged its role in the slave trade?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our sample game we look at playing as Austria and aiming for a Diplomatic Victory. And our focus is on puppeting City-States, but I misunderstood and instead of making a Diplomatic Victory easier, it makes it harder. I still managed to get my Diplomatic Victory, but a Science or Domination Victory would definitely have been easier in this scenario. Playing Civilization V, Part 14 Now I am at turn 340, I just puppeted another City-State, and I have one more on the way. I have sent a large number of military units, both land and sea, to the City-States that are on Japan's border. If he tries anything now he will likely regret it. Now I am starting to build things I had not bothered with before, like Granaries and Amphitheaters. I got a couple of Great Engineers, and used them to rush build Wonders. I am nearly finished puppeting all of the City-States, and my Happiness and Income are both quite healthy. I am in such good shape I started to build the World's Fair, which I initally proposed then ignored. At this point I only have one more City-State to puppet, then I will have puppeted every City-State in the game. So it is time to put my large income to use in other ways by giving gifts to the other players. I may want to get a few more votes on my side to get over the top in the World Leader vote when it happens. On turn 357 I completed the puppeting of all of the City-States in the game. Meanwhile, I am building up my Science and building Wonders as they become available. I didn't build any in the early game because I had other priorities, but now I have a strong military, high income, and no other pressing needs. My score on the Leader Board is now double that of my nearest competitor which is still Japan. And their denunciation me of just expired with them taking no action. I used a Great Engineer to rush build the Porcelain Tower, earning me another Great Scientist, which I then used to build another Academy. At this point it is mostly a slog to the finish. Since I was so dominant and so wealthy I could afford to pursue a couple of other options just in case. One was a Science victory, which looked like a possibility, though it would be close. I had to be very focused in my Science Research. The other option was a Culture victory, and I had dominated two other empires culturally without half trying, and I was generating Great Artists, Great Musicians, and Great Writers pretty rapidly. So I built Museums, then Archeologists, and grabbed every artifact I find to stuff into the Museums. But the final Victory came when I researched Globalization. This tech allows you to get an extra vote in a World Council for every Spy you send to another empire's capital and designate as an Ambassador. I immediately sent my spies out (they had previously been in my cities doing counter-espionage since I had a tech lead). And a few turns later a vote for World Leader came up and I won. This was my first time using Maria Theresa of Austria as my leader, and it was fun, but in the end puppeting all of the City-Staters actually made it harder to win a Diplomatic victory. In other games I have played, every City-State that was an ally was an extra vote in the World Council, and I assumed that making them puppets would mean I would get that many votes. But that didn't happen. Of course, if I had read more carefully in the Civilization Wiki I would have realized this, because it says there very clearly that Austria is one of the worst Empires to pick if you are going for a Diplomatic victory. So the fact that I managed it anyway is nice. I think I actually could have done a Science victory as I had my Spaceship half-built when I won the Diplomatic Victory. But I hope this analysis of how I actually played this game will be helpful to someone else.

In 2025, Harvard Art Museums considered using generative AI in a marketing campaign to increase visitor engagement and membership. Looking to boost attendance and appeal to a younger audience base, and facing intensified competition for leisure time, the Museums' marketing team explored animating a canonical artwork using AI-generated avatars as part of a digital campaign. While the approach promised novelty and attention, it raised internal concerns about brand authenticity, interpretive authority, donor relations, and reputational risk. Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Julian De Freitas and Harvard Art Museums Director of Marketing John Connolly join host Brian Kenny to discuss the case, Harvard Art Museums: When Art Meets Artificial Intelligence. They explore tensions between innovation and brand stewardship in cultural marketing, organizational barriers to new technology adoption, and the strategic use of emerging technologies in brand management.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down with Jose Carlos Chavez from Okta to break down the OWASP Top 10 for 2025 and what actually changed since 2021. We trace Jose's path from software engineering and observability into security, dig into why broken access control still holds the number one spot despite mature tooling, and ask the question that never seems to get old: why is injection still a top five risk after decades of parameterized queries and ORMs? Jose walks us through the growing role of supply chain and software integrity failures, the surprisingly weak security posture around AI skills and agent permissions, and why immutable, reliable logging still matters as much as ever. We close on root causes that show up across nearly every category on the list and why ownership, not tooling alone, is what actually moves the needle on security.FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA:➜Twitter: @AppSecPodcast➜LinkedIn: The Application Security Podcast➜YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ApplicationSecurityPodcastThanks for Listening!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Josh Perelman about the power of museums to shape memory, identity, and emotional connection. Through the story of The First Salute exhibition, the conversation explores how objects, narratives, and technology can bring overlooked histories to life. Dr. Perelman reflects on the responsibility of museums to create space for empathy, complexity, and multiple perspectives, while also discussing how AI and digital tools may change the way audiences experience the past. This episode offers an insightful look at how cultural institutions can move beyond simply presenting history and instead invite visitors into deeper conversations about who we are, where we come from, and how stories continue to shape our shared future.

Das Land mit der einst strahlenden Anziehungskraft kämpft ziemlich erfolglos gegen einen Einbruch der Touristenzahlen aus dem Ausland.  Dies in einem Jahr, das eigentlich neue Rekorde erreichen müsste, mit Fußball WM und 250 Jahren USA. Wolfgang Streitbörger (Tourismusvertretung von Mississippi und Alabama) – Foto: privat Mir geht es ähnlich, wie den Touristen, die wegbleiben. Ich mache auch keinen Hehl daraus, dass meine ursprünglich heiß geliebten USA schon seit zweieinhalb Jahren nicht mehr auf der Favoritenliste stehen, denn zu viel ist passiert: Im Land, durch fragwürdige Regierungsentscheidungen in Sachen Einreiseregelungen, Kontrollen und inneramerikanische Verhaltensweisen, die wenig Lust machen zu einer Reise dorthin aufzubrechen. Das ist Grund genug um zu reden. Das passiert in dieser Podcast-Folge mit meinem Talkgast Wolfgang Streitbörger, der als PR-Vertreter US-Amerikanischer Destinationen, die Aufgabe hat, genau das zu vermeiden. Eine Krise aufarbeiten – Geht das? Es ist ein schwieriges Gespräch. Auf der einen Seite gibt es nicht wegzudiskutierende Fakten, auf der anderen sagen USA-Besucher, die mit dem VISA-freien ESTA-Programm einreisen, es sei nie einfacher gewesen in die Staaten zu kommen. Selten sei die Grenzkontrolle schneller, freundlicher und reibungsloser abgelaufen. Bleibt die Frage, ob Berichte und Eindrücke von Problemen falsch sind, auf Sinnestäuschungen beruhen oder schlicht aufgebauscht wurden? Wir versuchen Sachverhalte zu klären, Falschinformation zu benennen und uns gleichzeitig an einer Einordnung zu versuchen. What's it All About: Baseball & Apple-Pie Wir haben den Podcast zum Anfang der Woche und damit unmittelbar nach dem 4. Juli 2026, dem amerikanischen Nationalfeiertag (Independence Day) geführt. Stattgefunden hat der Talk auf der Terrasse eines Kasseler Cafés. Passend zum kulinarischen Angebot zwischen Rührei, Eggs Benedict mit Avocado und Kaffee, also irgendwo auch ein wenig amerikanisch. Eggs Benedict in Memoriam – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Fragen und Antworten Aus der Problematik resultiert eine große Zahl von Fragen. Die Antworten, oder zumindest die Antwortversuche, findet Ihr in diesem Podcast. Warum bleiben die Touristen aus? Sind die Argumente in Sachen Einreise denn berechtigt oder sind es Fehlinformationen, die zum schlechten Image geführt haben? Beruht das Phänomen auf Ängsten der Reisenden und dem „Säbelrasseln“ der Trump-Regierung, obwohl die Welt reisetechnisch sehr viel besser in Ordnung ist, als vermutet? Welche Faktoren gibt es? – Ängste, Politische Ablehnung, hohe Preise oder ist es einfach nur ein nachvollziehbares aber irrationales Gefühl? Es gab viele Meldungen über scharfe Kontrollen und Checks, die Überprüfung von Social-Media-Accounts und Mailadressen. Wie sieht die in der Praxis wahrgenommene Realität aus? Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Politics ICE geht ja, belegt, nicht gerade zimperlich mit Menschen um, die sie verhaften. Juristische Vorgaben werden gern mal ignoriert. Da ist die Angst in Kontrollen zu geraten und plötzlich im Knast zu sitzen. Aber: Trifft das auch deutsche Touristen, die in Musikmetropolen wie Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville usw. oder einfach nur die Sonne Floridas genießen wollen? Es gibt ja die Protestbewegung „No Kings“ und gleichzeitig feiert man das 250. USA-Jubiläum und das „Land of the Brave“, der Tapferen, Unerschrockenen und der Freiheitliebenden. Wie passt das zusammen? US-Unabhängigkeitserklärung in deutscher Sprache im “Museum of the American Revolution” in Philadelphia – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wie gehen die amerikanischen Touristiker mit der Problematik um? Selbst die Marketingorganisation „Brand USA“ ist ja seit geraumer Zeit unter Dauerbeschuss der Regierung. Das Geld wird immer knapper, für ein Tourismusmarketing, das gerade jetzt bitter notwendig wäre. Ist die Organisation aus Trump-Sicht nur einfach noch nicht gleichgeschaltet? Donald J. Trump ist Namensgeber der „Trump-Hotels“. Eine solche Marke müsste doch normalerweise ein Interesse an der Förderung des Tourismus haben. Wie passt das mit den fremdenfeindlichen Auftritten des Präsidenten Donald J. Trump zusammen? Trump-Tower Chicago – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Nun ist die Stimmung im Land selber so aufgeheizt wie nie zuvor. Sind diese Uneinigkeit im Land und das Aufeinanderprallen politischer Fronten auch Grund für den Imageschaden und den angstmachenden Faktoren? Ist man sich denn wenigstens in Tourismuskreisen etwas einiger, oder herrscht dort das gleiche politische Chaos? Der deutsche Tourismusblick Deutsche Veranstalter versuchen ja davon zu überzeugen, dass die Probleme hauptsächlich im Kopf der Reisenden oder besser Nicht-Reisenden existieren. Wie sieht das der PR-Mann Wolfgang Streitbörger, dessen Aufgabe es ja ist, solche Ängste gar nicht erst aufkommen zu lassen? Wie wird es weitergehen? Welche Hoffnungen tragen denn die USA-Touristiker mit sich herum? Wie gestaltet sich der Umgang mit dem Unmöglichen? Was wird aus den Hoffnungen aller, die ein tolles Land kennen und dort Freunde haben, die noch genauso gut, offen und freiheitlich denken? Wird sich das eventuell mit den “Mid-Terms”, den Zwischenwahlen im November ändern, oder schliddert der Tourismus dann in eine zusätzliche Krise? Capitol – Washington Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Schlussgedanken (nach dem Gespräch) Eine Reise in die USA machen? Entscheiden muss das, nach wie vor, jeder für sich selbst. Die vergleichsweise Unabhängigkeit der Bundesstaaten, die sich auch im Tourismus niederschlägt mag Mut machen. Wirklich geklärt sind die Probleme des Landes noch lange nicht. Civil Rights Museum, Jackson, Ms.: Ein Pflichtstopp bei der Reise durch den Süden – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Letztlich liegen sie tief in der „amerikanischen Seele“. Freiheit ja, aber für einige weniger davon. Vorurteile, Rassismus, soziale Standesunterschiede und Probleme haben sich im Lauf der letzten 100 Jahre nicht beseitigen lassen. Da muss man schon grenzenloser Optimist sein, wenn man glaubt, dass dies ein Regierungswechsel in gut zwei Jahren bewerkstelligen könnte. Bürgerrechtskampf und Ku-Klux-Klan: Civil Rights Museum, Jackson, Mississippi Auf der anderen Seite, so auch mein Talk-Gast Wolfgang, gibt es im Land, mitunter ganz plötzlich auch immer wieder Ereignisse, die man kaum vorhersehen kann. Bisher haben sich die USA noch immer wieder erholt. Ob das auch diesmal funktionieren wird? „Kings“ haben die Eigenheit, Macht nur unfreiwillig aufzugeben. Ob man sich auf die „No Kings“-Strategie der amerikanischen Verfassung rückbesinnt? Ich würde es mir wünschen. B.B.

The country's top museums are facing fire from the Trump Administration over a new report claiming the museums are engaging in extreme political activism by presenting 'radical views' of American history. Historians slam the report, saying it's unnecessarily adding more politics into history itself. It's often said that victors write history, but how does that apply when looking back at our own history? Greg and Holly discuss.  

Since the 1990s countries around the world have been building a new type of history museum.  Rather than glorifying the nation, these museums are purpose-built to spotlight the darkest and most shameful chapters in national histories.  They are inspired by a post-Holocaust, “never again,” human rights memorialization culture anchored in the belief that nations can and should learn from past wrongs.  Until recently, the United States lagged behind this trend.  Few American museums offered a critical perspective on the nation's history of racial violence. Sociologist Amy Sodaro, an expert on museums and the politics of past violence, offers her insights on three new U.S. museums that feature the history of slavery and racial violence.  This is the subject of her recent book, Lifting the Shadow: Reshaping Memory, Race and Slavery in U.S. Museums.

A new White House Domestic Policy Council report accuses the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History of "extreme political activism" and calls for a more patriotic presentation of American history ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary. Critics argue the effort seeks to reshape how Black, Native, immigrant, women's and LGBTQ history are presented.

60.000 Menschen singen im Olympiastadion, Jochen guckt aus dem Fenster auf zwei Pferde in der Wallonie. Diesmal reisen die beiden wegen der Kunst. Michi war bei den Foo Fighters in Berlin, dem größten Konzert der Band auf deutschem Boden, und Jochen erzählt von seinem Treffen mit Dave Grohl und dass Paul McCartney auch irgendwie dabei war. Dann geht's zum angesagtesten Museums-Besuch des Jahres ins Kölner Museum Ludwig zu Yayoi Kusama, der japanischen Künstlerin, die Reisende vielleicht von ihrem weltberühmten Kürbis auf der japanischen Insel Naoshima kennen.

When you think of the Revolutionary War, you may think of Philadelphia or Boston. But if you want to be where the fighting actually happened, head to New Jersey, where armies crisscrossed the state, neighbors were divided, and Washington's army turned things around. Sara Cureton, the executive director of the New Jersey State Historical Commission, and Mark Texel, the administrator of state historic sites for the NJ Dept of Environmental Protection, talk about the Garden State's rich revolutionary history and where to the landmarks and artifacts associated with it today.    Painting by John Trumbull: The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton January 3 1777 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the Video Game History Hour, host Phil Salvador interviews Willem Hilhorst, Media Manager for Games and Online at the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision regarding their video game preservation efforts within the context of an audiovisual media archive. Established in 1997, the institute manages a growing collection of over 500 digital and physical Dutch-connected games. Hilhorst outlines key initiatives like the Dutch Games Canon and the Treasure Room portal for out-of-commerce media. The discussion addresses the legal and structural challenges of long-term preservation alongside the role of national identity in software design. Using Ubisoft's early French influence on Rayman as a case study, Hilhorst highlights how local cultural elements translate to international audiences. Also in this episode: the non-game material held in the archive, the potential canon inclusion of Moon Child, and Hilhorst's external work for Nintendo World Report and EFGAMP. You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Mentioned in the Show: The Dutch Games Canon (please use translation for an English version): https://gamescanon.beeldengeluid.nl"The Treasure Room" (Schatkamer) (requires a Dutch IP address or VPN): https://schatkamer.beeldengeluid.nlThe European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects: https://efgamp.eu Nintendo World Report: https://nintendoworldreport.com / https://youtube.com/@NinWRTVOut of Commerce Works Portal: https://euipo.europa.eu/out-of-commerce/Home Computer Museum: https://www.homecomputermuseum.nl/en/#introSee more from Willem Hilhorst:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whilhorst.bsky.socialSound & Vision Website: https://beeldengeluid.nl/en/Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

Ray and Dave interview worldly traveled and renowned Japanese paleontologist and curator who was just appointed President and Director General of the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo  

Is fashion art? Why is archive fashion everywhere in 2026? Have designers created anything genuinely new since 1970—and what do postwar Paris, May 1968, 1970s punk, quiet luxury, vintage clothing, fashion TikTok, and the decline of print magazines tell us about how people dress now?On this episode of Pair of Kings, Sol and Michael sit down with Dr. Alexis Romano, fashion historian, writer, curator and professor at Parsons School of Design, for a conversation about fashion history, modern fashion trends, and the forces that turn clothing into culture. Alexis studies twentieth-century fashion, photography, women's history, clothing archives, and everyday dress. Her book, Prêt-à-Porter, Paris and Women: A Cultural Study of French Readymade Fashion, 1945–68, traces the rise of French ready-to-wear after World War II through garments, Vogue and Elle, film, photography, oral history, and the lives of women who bought and wore the clothes.The conversation begins with a fit check spanning Rick Owens, Crocs, selvedge denim, and a vintage Mollie Parnis Ultrasuede set before asking whose clothing gets preserved as fashion history. Museums often prioritize haute couture, luxury fashion, and famous designers, while everyday sportswear, workwear, ready-to-wear, and heavily worn garments disappear. Alexis explains why ordinary clothing and oral history create a richer record.Sol, Michael, and Alexis trace French prêt-à-porter and its tension with haute couture. They discuss how postwar modernization, technology, urban life, New Wave cinema, fashion magazines, photography, and changing ideas about women shaped the modern fashion industry. They examine how ready-made clothing became fashionable rather than merely practical, why casual dress grew alongside social liberalization, and how fast fashion represents the latest stage of a much longer ready-to-wear system.That history leads directly into the fashion landscape of 2026. Why do many well-dressed people now choose either expensive designer clothing or vintage and secondhand clothes? Why are the 1990s and Y2K still being recycled? Has archive culture made younger consumers more historically literate—or convinced them that old clothes are automatically better than new design? The episode connects the 1970s “beige decade” to The Row-era minimalism, natural-looking materials, texture, tactility, pared-back luxury, and the quiet-luxury conversation. Alexis breaks down the decade's competing trends: American sportswear, punk fashion, disco style, polyester, plastic, lamé, bold color, natural fabrics, wide-leg trousers, and Ultrasuede. Contradictory aesthetics existed at once—much like today's mix of minimalism, maximalism, streetwear, high fashion, and microtrends.A major section asks the central question: is fashion art? The group discusses The Met Costume Institute's 2026 Costume Art exhibition, the Museum at FIT, the Whitney Museum, MoMu Antwerp, and the growth of museum fashion exhibitions. Rick Owens becomes a case study in how a garment can be a consumer product, collectible design, personal uniform, museum object, and artwork at the same time. They also discuss Yohji Yamamoto exhibitions, the boundary between a fashion store and an art gallery, museum merchandise, and why fashion may be “the art of the people”—an art form audiences can wear, touch, collect, alter, and recognize in their own closets.This episode is part of Pair of Kings' exploration of “integrated fashion”: the idea that brands increasingly operate across clothing, art, media, music, fragrance, retail, technology, museums, and lifestyle, while consumers build wardrobes around their hobbies, identities, communities, and references. Fashion is not only what appears on a runway. It is also what gets worn, photographed, posted, remembered, collected, studied, resold, copied, preserved, and eventually called history.Whether you follow high fashion, menswear, streetwear, archive fashion, vintage clothing, fashion TikTok, fashion magazines, modeling, editorial photography, independent designers, museum exhibitions, or fashion theory, this conversation offers a practical history of how taste is made—and asks what parts of modern fashion culture will still exist for historians fifty years from now.Alexis is collecting fashion oral histories and personal fashion autobiographies for her research.
