Carried Away: Bags Unpacked by Auckland Museum
Requirements: PDF Reader 51.5 MB
Overview: The bag, and the handbagin particular, has achieved high fashion status, but what’s the cultural and historical significance behind the bag? Why do we use them and not just have pockets? Why don’t men routinely use them? Does every culture have a tradition of using bags?
The Auckland Museum exhibition Carried Away: Bags Unpacked is a collection of 150 bags from their Applied Arts and Design Collection, a nationally significant research archive of key makers and designers from New Zealand and abroad, and this book serves as both a photographic record and an exploration of the symbolism and power behind bags.
Grace Lai, curator of the collection, unpacks issues carried by the bag: of colonialism, the economy, consumption, gender politics, and whakapapa. Issues that remain relevant to not only museums and their collections but also to society today.
Genre: Non-Fiction – General
