Human Rights Watch EXPO CHICAGO 2018: The Rational Dress Society

Human Rights Watch believes art translates human rights abuses in a way that urges viewers to take action. Returning for a 6th year to EXPO CHICAGO, HRW highlights inequalities in the global garment industry by featuring new work by The Rational Dress Society: UNDERWEAR, a line of ungendered undergarments. The work calls for sustainable, paticipatory, and transparent labor practices, while challenging narratives about gender indentity.

Join us to toast our 6th opening at EXPO CHICAGO

September 28, 5 pm: Under[the]wear: Fashion & Equity for Global Garment Workers

Close the working week with a happy hour discussion about what's under your clothes and who made. We'll explore art and labor rights in the garment industry with a conversation between HRW Executive Director of Women's Rights Liesl Gerntholtz, and Rational Dress Society artists Abigail Glaum-Lathbury and Maura Brewer. 

At 6 pm, stay for a curated tour of EXPO CHICAGO for those interested in art and social justice.
