The exhibition will be held 25–26 March 2024 at UC Davis, Department of Design, Maker Space and show work related to the symposium theme. The exhibition proposals should demonstrate wearables design research through artistic experimentations, collaborations and cross/interdisciplinary practice. For example, submissions could include aesthetic, functional and conceptual wearables and e-textiles, other smart material and interface prototypes resulting from collaboration/s, a collection of research samples, and textiles art and other creative expressions challenging the contemporary practice which illuminate the specific theme of the symposium collaboration.
It is expected that the submitted work has not been shown before in its current form. It can be a continuation of a larger body of work, but needs to be a significant contribution beyond previous exhibitions.
The exhibition proposal should include a plan of installation with either sketches, illustrations or photos showing the scale of the exhibition piece(s) and required AV requirements.
It is also expected that at least one exhibitor associated with the work will register and attend the conference in-person.
