A film launched yesterday celebrating women's ingenuity in sewing outfits for practicality (I love the one of the left).
POP launched a collaborative film and journal article about historical women’s sport and active wear on International Women’s Day. Both bring to life inventive treasures in the archive that point to how persistently creative, brave and resilient girls and women have been in doing the things they loved (in this case lead active and sporting lives) despite the many barriers to their freedom of movement.
The film was made by Lee Craigie, Alice Lemkes and Philippa Battye of The Adventure Syndicate with Aneela McKenna of Mór Diversity Consultancy. It is based on POP’s research collection of reconstructed sporting costumes from 1890-1940 and more in-depth discussion in this journal article – Convertible, multiple and hidden: The inventive lives of women’s sport and activewear 1890–1940
