We would like to thank Steven Calco, Riley E. Griffin, and Melissa M. Holland at The Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation & Archives for their assistance through the research and loan process. We are very grateful to Marcie Farwell for helping us navigate the American Textile History Museum Osborne Library Collection and Alison Rittershaus for facilitating our loan from the Johnson Museum of Art. We would also like to thank Charles V. Beach Jr. and Jaden J. Demarest in The Digital Design and Fabrication Studio for working with us to create and install this exhibition.
Finally, Sounding Fashion would not have been possible without the financial support of the Department of Human Centered Design, and assistance from Professor Catherine Blumenkamp in the Cornell Fashion and Textile Collection and the guidance of faculty advisor Professor Denise N. Green.
Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ leadership.
