J Jumpsuit Course Information & Syllabus 1 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES: CHICAGO, ILL. / LOS ANGELES, CALIF. / WWW.JUMPSU.IT JUMPSUIT J COURSE INFORMATION & SYLLABUS DOCUMENT: RDS . JUMPSUIT How to Make a Personal Uniform for the End of Capitalism COURSE DESCRIPTION Fashion is inherently political. We see this in the way our clothing produces social signals to ways it is bought, sold, worn, and produced. In this six-week class the Rational Dress Society, in collaboration with the Arts Research Collective (ARC), will position fashion in the context of theory and practice. Students will learn to sew a JUMPSUIT of their very own alongside lessons and discussions on topics including, Marxism, feminism, cyborgs, revolutionary dress, the environment, labor and the end of western capitalism. June 17th - July 26th Wednesday/Sunday 8:00 - 9:30 est WHAT IS THIS COURSE ABOUT? This course will be structured in two parts. In the first half, we will learn to sew JUMPSUITS using a free pattern designed by the RDS. In the second half, we will learn to design our own personal uniform, to replace all clothes in perpetuity. Alongside sewing, patternmaking and design demonstrations, RDS cofounders Abigail Glaum-Lathbury and Maura Brewer will lead a series of discussions and workshops to reimagine what a post-consumer society might look like. Together, we will turn theory into practice and form new bonds of solidarity in times of self-isolation. WHAT WILL STUDENTS LEARN? This class is designed for any individual who would like to make a JUMPSUIT regardless of prior sewing experience. Together with online workshops, supplemental instructional videos and resources, students will create a RDS monogarment from start to finish while discussing the historical and theoretical framework of our current political landscape. Lessons are designed to facilitate critical engagement with media, theory and fashion paired with technical and practical sewing demonstrations. 1 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES: CHICAGO, ILL. / LOS ANGELES, CALIF. / WWW.JUMPSU.IT JUMPSUIT J COURSE INFORMATION & SYLLABUS DOCUMENT: RDS .

  • Escaping Eden
    Escaping Eden Chapter 1 I wake up screaming. Where am I? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cold? It’s dark. I look around, blinking sleep from my eyes. I notice a window somewhere in the back of the room. It’s open and moonlight shines through, casting a square beam of light across the floor. A breeze drifts in, and white curtains float like pale ghosts in the darkness. In the narrow light of the moon, I see that the carpet is burgundy. I also see the outlines of furniture. My head vaguely aching, I look at the shadows scattered messily across the room. I feel like sweeping them up to make room for light. I shake off the urge. Stop being delusional. There’s a funny smell in the air, ​ ​ like a mixture of old home mustiness and laboratory sterilization. I realize that I’m lying on the floor. Why am I not on the bed? ​ The last thing I remember is pain. Maybe that’s why I woke up screaming. The ​ ​ pain was intense. The pain was… cold. I decide to swallow my fear. It tastes terrible. ​ I stand up and my neck aches. As I rub my hand across it, my bones crack like I haven’t moved in a long time. I whisper to myself. “As Grandpa always said…” My train of thought rolls off into the distance. Where was I going with this? Who is “Grandpa”? I put my hand on my sweaty ​ forehead. I must be tired. I look for a light switch by approaching the walls and groping ​ ​ around.
