CRITICAL FASHION WALKWith Aliona Pazdniakova, Ida Falck Øien, Klaus Nathaus, Sara Skogøy, Tone Rasch
Initiated by Johanna Zanon
Critical Fashion Walk explores what critical fashion can be through the motion of bodies and thoughts, and to what end it can be articulated, practiced, and possibly acted upon.
Critical Fashion Walk is a platform for dialogue across disciplines with fashion as a common object of inquiry. Specifically, this walk is rooted in – and crosses over – photography, philosophy, history, fashion design, textile art, and artistic research.
Aliona, Ida, Klaus, Sara, and Tone contribute to the walk with their ongoing investigations. They look at fashion, historical or contemporary, with their own set of questions, interests, and methods, in view of fostering mutual understanding.
Come and join us for a conversational stroll through various fashion sites, East of the river. We look forward to being acquainted and developing an interdisciplinary language together.

Biographies
Aliona Pazdniakova (b. 1984) is a visual artist and philosopher, working primarily within photography, film, and text. Aliona’s visual research combines photographic and philosophic experiences with a particular interest in the phenomenology of art. Using the capacities of both documentary and staged images, she dissects the cultural constructs of collective identity, between presence and absence, immediacy and mediation. Aliona holds an MA in Traditional Arts from the University of South-Eastern Norway, a BA and Specialist Diploma in Philosophy and Social Sciences from the Belarusian State University, as well as a Diploma in Photography from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts.
Ida Falck Øien is a researcher and fashion designer. In 2012, she co-founded the brand HaiKw/, which then became a collaborative platform to explore fashion design’s possible formats and critical potential. Ida currently works as an associate professor of clothing and costume at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), where she heads the MA and BA clothing and costume programme. Ida graduated from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design (now KMD at the University of Bergen) and KHiO with a doctoral project titled Transactional Aesthetics, – and so can you! (2021). Her research investigates models of transactionship in order to explore human-garment relationships.
Klaus Nathaus (b. 1974) is a social historian of the twentieth century. Klaus is curious about how people worked together to produce entertainment content and establish personal social relations. This encompasses research on the music business (including charts, collecting societies, and creative labour) as well as voluntary associations, urban nightlife, and social dancing. Klaus studies this with a geographical focus on Germany, Britain, the USA, and Norway. He is professor of history at the University of Oslo (IAKH).
Sara Skogøy (b. 1994) has a BA from fashion and costume design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). Sara is all about the politics of fashion. Working at the intersection of art and fashion, she explores class, sexuality, and satire. Her theatrical approach lets her explore the fashion format as a performance, seeking out the camp in mundane everyday life. In 2020, Sara won the People’s Choice Award at Høstutstillingen with her work My Dad went to Syden and all I got was this lousy bead-top. In 2022, Sara started unionising the fashion industry in Norway under the labour union Creo.
Tone Rasch (b. 1957) is curator at Teknisk Museum. She has worked within the history of science and technology, with a focus on textile, clothing, and fashion. She has also worked with the museum’s photo collection, whose bulk consists of early photographic techniques and industrial photography. Tone has written several articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as in Berg Encyclopedia of Fashion and Dress (2010). Tone holds an MA in art history and has curated a wide variety of exhibitions, including on the Norwegian textile industry.
Johanna Zanon (b. 1988) is an independent curator and writer with a background in fashion studies. She holds a PhD in history from the University of Oslo, an MPhil in curatorial studies (French equivalent) from École Nationale des Chartes in Paris, and an MA in art history from École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris. In addition to her independent practice, Johanna currently works as a programme curator at Norske Kunsthåndverkere.
