本場講座將由作家兼策展人 Cheryl Sim 主持，帶領觀眾深入探討旗袍長久以來的象徵意義；隨後將由趨時裁縫負責人兼高級裁縫師 Mia Wu 參與問答環節。


旗袍（粵語常稱「長衫」）是國際公認的華人文化認同與女性特質之象徵。該服飾起源於漢族與滿族服裝風格的融合，其後受到西方時尚的交融影響，在不同世代與海外移民族群中承載著多層次的文化意涵。對於在加拿大出生的華裔女性而言，身著旗袍往往能激發出交織於渴望、恐懼、驚奇與文化思辯之間的複雜情感。


策展人兼學者沈潔博士將結合其著作Wearing the Cheongsam: Dress and Culture in a Chinese Diaspora，審視旗袍在海外的歷史軌跡與復興現象，並剖析其作為傳統價值、文化傳承與群體歸屬感之象徵，在華裔加拿大女性中所引發的多元探討。專題分享結束後，Cheryl Sim 將與趨時裁縫的 Mia Wu 展開對談，共同探討當代旗袍的發展趨勢、服裝製程及文化挪用等議題。


本館誠摯歡迎並鼓勵與會者身著旗袍蒞臨參與。


本場活動將主要以英語進行。


本節目為《夢想工坊：1980至2000年代中文流行曲》特展之系列公眾活動。

Mia Wu
Owner and Senior Tailor, Modernize Tailors

Born and raised in Taiwan, Mia Wu first learned how to sew from her mother on a Singer foot-pedal sewing machine. She moved to Vancouver in 2013 and completed the fashion design program at Blanche Macdonald Centre. In need of buttonholes, Wu met Bill Wong, and the apprenticeship started from there. Under Bill’s wing, as well as Park Wong’s, she quickly honed her skills. Sadly, Bill passed away in 2017 and with encouragement from Park Wong and Beverli Barnes, she took over the Modernize Tailors legacy, which continues to operate to this day.
