Redeeming the Irredeemable: The Diabolical Striped Garment

Redeeming the Irredeemable: The Diabolical Striped Garment In-Person

Brandon Brooks, curator of the John L. Wehle Gallery at Genesee Country Village & Museum, explores how the stripe and striped garments have been used by society to draw a line between those who are welcome and those who are not. From nefarious criminals, rebels, insurgents, and prisoners, to the middle-class masses and those wishing to embrace seaside luxury; the history of stripes is full of colorful and conflicting implications. Extent pieces from the Bruce and Susan Greene Costume Collection will compliment this discussion.
