Secrets from the Ball

The exhibition "The Ball" is the largest fashion exhibition ever held at Design Museum Holon. The lecture "Secrets from the Ball'' will provide an exclusive glimpse into the complex creative process of the exhibition, which lasted three years. Curator Yaara Keydar will share the unique process of curating an exhibit about fashion as a way to time travel, disconnect from reality and express wishes. Yaara will share intriguing questions she dealt with during the process, such as: How do you illustrate an imaginary history of Cinderella's shoes? Is it possible to resurrect ball gowns from the 18th century? How do you turn optical fibers into a dress and styrofoam and cement into macaron mountains? And what is the connection between Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to Holon and Israeli fashion? Yaara will lead us on a visual journey between dreams and reality, share thoughts on the proportion and limits of good taste, and will reveal puzzles, dilemmas, and illusions unique to the connections between fashion, history, museums, and imagination.
