Secrets of Heroines

How can one find beauty in the darkness of war? Can it even hold meaning when humanity is shrouded in shadow? In the lecture “Secrets of Heroines”, exhibition curator Ya’ara Keydar invites the audience on a behind-the-scenes journey into the making of “Heroines: Fashion and Hope in World War II.” In this talk, Ya’ara shares the curatorial process and the personal experience of engaging with such a complex subject in the aftermath of October 7. Curation is a process that involves collaboration with professionals, moments of success and failure, mistakes, and a great deal of magic. Ya’ara will tell how a single tiny thimble led to an entire exhibition. She will reveal the mysteries uncovered during the research, share moving stories from the production process, and speak about sources of inspiration—something we all need now more than ever. This is a heartfelt lecture about a journey between sorrow and beauty, between loss and hope—and above all, a deep belief in women and humanity.

Matisse's scissors: canvas, fashion, and textiles

The works of the artist Henri Matisse and his influence on an entire generation of creators, designers, and artists leave no doubt that fashion and textiles play a huge role in his creative story. Yet still, it seems his love for textiles and fashion is a lesser-known facet of his character. Matisse grew up in a region of France that specialized in textile weaving; as an adult, he moved to Paris and filled his gray apartment with rich, printed, woven, and knitted fabrics. Through his iconic works, we will try to understand how textiles moved from the background of his composition to the center of his work and how Matisse became a stage and costume designer. His legacy has spread beyond the spaces of the museum - his bold colors, innovative textures, and captivating silhouettes can also be revealed in the designs of Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, Vera Wang, and others.

Grace Jones: A Fashion Revolution

"Strange, I've seen that face before," sings Jones in one of her iconic hits, reflecting her life as a controversial figure deeply rooted in her surroundings. The Jamaican girl who arrived in New York and quickly captured the public's imagination has always danced on the edge with her androgynous look, unique fashion, and provocative exploration of gender. She gravitated towards the new wave movement in the seventies, pairing this musical shift with a bold, dramatic visual transformation that commanded attention. Collaborating with visionaries like Jean-Paul Goude, Keith Haring, and Philip Treacy, who designed her unforgettable costumes and hats, Jones transcends the role of singer to become a cultural force—a modeling and acting icon whose original style and subversive messages challenge outdated views on race, sex, and gender. Yaara Keydar's lecture spotlights this inspiring figure who reminds us all that the world is a stage, and it's where we should dare to present our most extraordinary selves.

Marie Antoinette: To the Very End

Think you know Marie Antoinette? Think again. The controversial queen arrived at the court of Versailles at age 14 and changed history through fashion. Behind the glittering icon lies a human figure full of complexities, who arrived in France as a young and foreign princess and was forced to navigate the predatory world of the royal palace. She turned the dresses, wigs, jewelry, and shoes at her disposal into tools with which she defended herself and also stirred up storms and turned worlds upside down. Why did she become a symbol of caprice and waste? Did she really say, "If there's no bread, let them eat cake"? Is she the one who crushed the French economy? For over 250 years, the woman who used fashion as a means of conveying messages, conquering hearts, and demonstrating power has been an eternal fashion icon and continues to inspire fantasy among creators and designers, including John Galliano, Thom Browne, and Sofia Coppola. Tighten your corsets and prepare to discover a Marie Antoinette unlike anything you've known before.

Frida Kahlo's Hidden Colors

Frida Kahlo’s paintings, color schemes, and groundbreaking tropes have been fascinating researchers and museumgoers for decades. Her relationship with fashion and dress, however, is less well-known. Kahlo, who regarded her appearance as a part of her artistic creation, is an enduring source of inspiration to the worlds of fashion and design, from Givenchy and Gaultier to Madonna. Pain, beauty, disability, feminism, and strength are all intertwined in her story, as well as in her clothes. Following the textures, colors, dress, jewelry, and ideas of radical feminism that were decades ahead of their time, this lecture will endeavor to unearth the character of one of the most fascinating figures in the world of art history.

Marie Antoinette: To the Very End

Think you know Marie Antoinette? Think again. The controversial queen arrived at the court of Versailles at age 14 and changed history through fashion. Behind the glittering icon lies a human figure full of complexities, who arrived in France as a young and foreign princess and was forced to navigate the predatory world of the royal palace.

For over 250 years, the woman who used fashion as a means of conveying messages, conquering hearts, and demonstrating power has been an eternal fashion icon and continues to inspire fantasy among creators and designers, including John Galliano, Thom Browne, and Sofia Coppola. Tighten your corsets and prepare to discover a Marie Antoinette unlike anything you've known before.
