Corsets of Empowerment explores the intersection of fashion and activism, using contemporary design to spark conversations about gender equality and social change. Through innovative craftsmanship and symbolic storytelling, this project highlights fashion’s power to challenge perspectives and inspire dialogue. Experience the fusion of design, advocacy, and creativity as fashion becomes a voice for empowerment. 
This exhibition presents four uniquely designed corsets, each representing a significant women’s rights movement from around the world.
Join us for an open house event on Friday, April 11, 2025, from 5:00-6:30 pm in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery to celebrate the opening of the exhibition!
