| pubs.rights-statement | Dressing Sydney resulted from a multi-faceted two-year research project conducted between UTS and the Sydney Jewish Museum. It incorporated a major oral history collection, primary research conducted by a team of five UTS researchers (Paul Ashton, Paula Hamilton, Peter McNeil, Cameron White, Amanda Scorrano), an exhibition in which McNeil had a major conceptual input (October 2012-February 2014) and an illustrated catalogue including a 10,000 word essay, ‘The Beauty of the Everyday’, by McNeil. ‘Clothing narratives’ have always been a significant component of the oral histories told of re-establishment. Many of the survivor-guides at the Sydney Jewish Museum, some of whom are now in their late eighties and early nineties, worked in the so-called ‘rag trade’ in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. Until the research was undertaken, very little was known about how the clothing trade or schmatte worked in inter-war and post-war Australia. In this project we recreated ‘fashion-scapes’ (in Appadurai’s sense) that joined word, image and sound and revealed new perspectives about Australian social and economic history. We explored migration and re-establishment in the face of the Holocaust, as well as the wider picture of innovation in Australian enterprise since the 1930s. The show and the catalogue were described as moving and empowering in the visitor’s book at the Museum, and the exhibit was viewed by 20,000 people. The catalogue won Best Book Design at the 61st Annual Book Design Awards 2013. It received numerous positive reviews in academic journals (attached). | en_US |

In this project we recreated ‘fashion-scapes’ (in Appadurai’s sense) that joined word, image and sound and revealed new perspectives about Australian social and economic history. We explored migration and re-establishment in the face of the Holocaust, as well as the wider picture of innovation in Australian enterprise since the 1930s. The show and the catalogue were described as moving and empowering in the visitor’s book at the Museum, and the exhibit was viewed by 20,000 people. The catalogue won Best Book Design at the 61st Annual Book Design Awards 2013. It received numerous positive reviews in academic journals (attached). | en_US |
| pubs.rights-statement | Dressing Sydney resulted from a multi-faceted two-year research project conducted between UTS and the Sydney Jewish Museum. It incorporated a major oral history collection, primary research conducted by a team of five UTS researchers (Paul Ashton, Paula Hamilton, Peter McNeil, Cameron White, Amanda Scorrano), an exhibition in which McNeil had a major conceptual input (October 2012-February 2014) and an illustrated catalogue including a 10,000 word essay, ‘The Beauty of the Everyday’, by McNeil. ‘Clothing narratives’ have always been a significant component of the oral histories told of re-establishment. Many of the survivor-guides at the Sydney Jewish Museum, some of whom are now in their late eighties and early nineties, worked in the so-called ‘rag trade’ in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s.

| pubs.rights-statement | Dressing Sydney resulted from a multi-faceted two-year research project conducted between UTS and the Sydney Jewish Museum. It incorporated a major oral history collection, primary research conducted by a team of five UTS researchers (Paul Ashton, Paula Hamilton, Peter McNeil, Cameron White, Amanda Scorrano), an exhibition in which McNeil had a major conceptual input (October 2012-February 2014) and an illustrated catalogue including a 10,000 word essay, ‘The Beauty of the Everyday’, by McNeil. ‘Clothing narratives’ have always been a significant component of the oral histories told of re-establishment. Many of the survivor-guides at the Sydney Jewish Museum, some of whom are now in their late eighties and early nineties, worked in the so-called ‘rag trade’ in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. Until the research was undertaken, very little was known about how the clothing trade or schmatte worked in inter-war and post-war Australia. In this project we recreated ‘fashion-scapes’ (in Appadurai’s sense) that joined word, image and sound and revealed new perspectives about Australian social and economic history.

| pubs.rights-statement | Dressing Sydney resulted from a multi-faceted two-year research project conducted between UTS and the Sydney Jewish Museum. It incorporated a major oral history collection, primary research conducted by a team of five UTS researchers (Paul Ashton, Paula Hamilton, Peter McNeil, Cameron White, Amanda Scorrano), an exhibition in which McNeil had a major conceptual input (October 2012-February 2014) and an illustrated catalogue including a 10,000 word essay, ‘The Beauty of the Everyday’, by McNeil. ‘Clothing narratives’ have always been a significant component of the oral histories told of re-establishment. Many of the survivor-guides at the Sydney Jewish Museum, some of whom are now in their late eighties and early nineties, worked in the so-called ‘rag trade’ in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. Until the research was undertaken, very little was known about how the clothing trade or schmatte worked in inter-war and post-war Australia. In this project we recreated ‘fashion-scapes’ (in Appadurai’s sense) that joined word, image and sound and revealed new perspectives about Australian social and economic history. We explored migration and re-establishment in the face of the Holocaust, as well as the wider picture of innovation in Australian enterprise since the 1930s.

| pubs.rights-statement | Dressing Sydney resulted from a multi-faceted two-year research project conducted between UTS and the Sydney Jewish Museum. It incorporated a major oral history collection, primary research conducted by a team of five UTS researchers (Paul Ashton, Paula Hamilton, Peter McNeil, Cameron White, Amanda Scorrano), an exhibition in which McNeil had a major conceptual input (October 2012-February 2014) and an illustrated catalogue including a 10,000 word essay, ‘The Beauty of the Everyday’, by McNeil. ‘Clothing narratives’ have always been a significant component of the oral histories told of re-establishment. Many of the survivor-guides at the Sydney Jewish Museum, some of whom are now in their late eighties and early nineties, worked in the so-called ‘rag trade’ in the period from the 1930s to the 1980s. Until the research was undertaken, very little was known about how the clothing trade or schmatte worked in inter-war and post-war Australia. In this project we recreated ‘fashion-scapes’ (in Appadurai’s sense) that joined word, image and sound and revealed new perspectives about Australian social and economic history. We explored migration and re-establishment in the face of the Holocaust, as well as the wider picture of innovation in Australian enterprise since the 1930s. The show and the catalogue were described as moving and empowering in the visitor’s book at the Museum, and the exhibit was viewed by 20,000 people.
