End of Life: Bodies in Dress and Death with Assoc Prof Pia Interlandi. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
In this presentation, Dr Pia Interlandi will share samples and previews from the Decomposition Database, an evolving research archive that maps how textiles are used across practical and poetic end-of-life contexts and how they transform through regenerative processes such as natural burial, alkaline hydrolysis, and human composting. Pia will discuss the role of cloth in mediating our transitions between body and environment, and how the material choices we make at the end of life continue to shape what becomes of both the dressed body and its material afterlives. Audience members will gain an understanding of how textiles interact with decomposition, why material selection matters in funeral and body-disposal contexts, and how design and science can work together to create more regenerative end-of-life practices.
