DRESS TO IMPRESS. Reconstructions of Medieval Robes from Nubia
A unique transdisciplinary project which will showcase a live presentation of re-created costumes based on wall paintings from the cathedral of Faras in the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw and the Sudan National Museum in Khartoum.
A team consisting of archaeologists from the UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW and designers from the School of Form SWPS University at SWPS University undertook to reconstruct the costumes of Nubian dignitaries based on paintings from Faras from the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw and the Sudanese National Museum in Khartoum. This unique example of transdisciplinary academic collaboration generates new knowledge and popularises it, showing that artefacts and phenomena of the past can have a contemporary face.
After an initial presentation at the Louvre in Paris in 2024, they were exhibited in the Bode Museum in 2025, alongside selected textiles from the Museum of Byzantine Art collection.
