Dressing the resistance: the visual language of protest through history

Introduction: Clothing as canvas

Part one. Status, class, dress. Power to the people: everyday dress as protest

Shock the system: subculture and street style

Strut your stuff: fashion and elite resistance

Part two. Unity for change. Conform to survive: strength in numbers

Rainbow warriors: color revolutions

Military to militant: join the club

Part three. Beyond clothing. Costume and rebellion: acting up, acting out

Portable protest: hide and seek

Skin and symbols: baring it all.
