This exhibition is the result of a long-standing relationship between the Museo Moderno and the Fundación IDA, Investigación en Diseño Argentino [Research in Argentine Design], an institution dedicated to the conservation of historical and contemporary Argentine design. This collaboration deepens our efforts to create a joint catalogue and expand research into the material culture of design. It brings together collections spanning more than a century of national production, which have become a point of reference for specialists across the continent. The alliance between our institutions looks to strengthen the development of a shared historical memory and facilitate knowledge platforms that expand the public dissemination of Argentine design.
In this respect, the project brings together a selection of garments and documents to explore how clothing imagines possible futures shaped by environmental stresses, technological transformations and persistent social inequalities. The exhibition aims to highlight the importance of clothing design for a public museum.
