What’s the Taste of Our Clothes?

Imagine this: what if your shirt tasted like seaweed? Or your jeans like a forest after the rain? Clothes touch our skin, spark memories, tell stories, and connect us to the world around us. When we dress, we immerse ourselves in a choreography of textures, memories, ethics, and senses. María Pilar Uribe Silva and Harm Coordes invite you to think about clothing differently – not just as something we wear, but as something we experience. By engaging all our senses and taking the time to reflect on how our clothes feel, smell, move, and even (in our imagination) taste, we can discover new ways to think about what we wear, where it comes from, and how it’s made.
