CC20 goes online

The upcoming conference Critical Costume 2020: COSTUME AGENCY in Oslo this August will be hosted in a new format, as a digital/online event. The conference will take place on the same dates as planned; August Friday 21st till Sunday 23rd 2020. Here is some information on the updated plans:

The conference will be digital, consisting of three parts:

1) video library of paper presentations and flash talks (pre-recorded)

2) a series of working group meeting/discussions on Zoom (live online)

3) a series of panel discussions (live online)

The exhibition will continue as an online exhibition.

The workshops will be postponed to Summer 2021 because they require participants' physical presence. See more about conference, exhibition and the workshops below.

NOTE: The participation in this new format for CC2020 will be for free.

We are finalising our plans, timelines and technologies. We will announce detailed information with a timeline on April 21th.
