Garment, Body, and Memory – A Meeting with Yaara Kedar

Clothes accompany our lives, but sometimes they are also the evidence left behind.

Curator and fashion historian Yaara Kider will explore the significance of clothing items as a historical source and as bearers of personal and collective memory.

The event will begin with a tour of the exhibition “Living Memory,” focusing on the clothing items displayed in it and the stories they tell.

Moderator: Noa Or, Yad Vashem
