The panel is part of programming relating to the exhibition "On Bodies: Highlights from the UNT Texas Fashion Collection and The Goss-Michael Foundation," a collaboration that features high fashion and contemporary British fine art from the institutions' permanent collections. Exploring the ways in which embodies experiences impact our understanding of the world, this exhibition highlights artist and designers' interpretations of the human form.
