Description
Co-convened by Dr Sarah Gilligan (UK) and Dr Petra Krpan (Croatia).According to the World Health Organisation, by 2030 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. As we age, time seemingly becomes ever more precious and unpredictable. The relentless productivity and overconsumption that permeates Neoliberal culture appears to often to be at odds both with an ethos of sustainability, and of supporting individuals and communities. As the global population ages, it is imperative that mid-life and older adults embed a range of activities into their lives to support their health and well-being. Film and cinema going are an example of social and embodied activities that offer a means of creatively, emotionally, and intellectually working through the multifarious complexities of ageing on and beyond the screen. Craft, creativity, fashion media, digital media, and popular culture are ripe sources for critical, interdisciplinary analysis and offer individuals and communities the means of (re)fashioning, mediating, and challenging dominant structures of representation and consumption. FCVC2025 will centre on the exploration of how the distinct, yet symbiotic sartorial spaces of screen costuming, fashion media, and biographical wardrobes communicate the (re)fashioning of ageing identities, emotion, and memory in a range of contexts.
