Why Hats?
Under the Brim isn’t just about hats—it’s about the people who wore them.
I’ve always been fascinated by the complex stories behind everyday objects, and hats have helped shape how we see individuals and entire eras.
This exhibition invites us under the brim to explore what hats reveal about identity, status, gender roles, profession, rebellion, and conformity. It encourages visitors not just to walk in others’ shoes, but to wear their hats—stepping into different lives, perspectives, values, and eras through a deceptively simple object.
