Donatella Barbieri
Donatella Barbieri (Ph.D.) is a reader in critical costume practices and cultures at London College of Fashion (LCF), University of the Arts London. Having co-founded Studies in Costume and Performance, she wrote the award-winning Costume in Performance (Bloomsbury Academic, 2017) during her research fellowship at the V&A, where she also grounded notions of costume agency through the ‘Encounters in the Archive’ research. Her participatory and interactive practice, shared at international events, underpins both the pedagogies of the MA Costume (LCF) and collaborative practice-research into digital and mixed realities costume-based performance-making, with artists from marginalized cultures to reactivate relational narratives of environmental co-dependence and trans-species embodiments.
