This talk by exhibition designer and co-curator Rachel Ormshaw offers a behind-the-scenes look at the design process behind Folk Imaginaries: Ukrainian Clothing as Memory and Imagination. Rather than beginning with a fixed visual concept, the exhibition’s design emerged through close study of garments and artefacts, hands-on experimentation, and ongoing dialogue with lead curator Natalka Chomiak and co-curator Alexandra Shkandrij.Drawing on examples from across the process, Ormshaw traces how materials, scale, texture, and spatial relationships shaped the final exhibition. The talk explores how object-led exhibition design can guide storytelling, encourage visitors to slow down, and create space for close looking.
Rachel Ormshaw is an interdisciplinary artist and curator whose work centers on textiles, material culture, and memory. Trained in textile design, weaving is central to her practice, both as a material process and a way of thinking through how objects carry history and meaning.
