Trainers in Sports, Fashion, Film, Music and the pavement

While Others watched the World Cup; we perused Trainers

Trainers: An Exploration through Sports and Popular Culture - Equality of Style and Purpose, Curated by Lily

Here we take a moment to explore the trainer, the athletic shoe, which has risen from the humble plimsoll to iconic status as unique works of art; and statements for the feet.

Whether as sneakers, kicks and ya tins or simply running shoe; they are amazing feets of design transcending: age, culture and gender - the perfect integrationist.

The display does not seek to chart the evolution of the trainer but simply to show appreciation for an item with a global reach which is for the people; by the people.

 Banknotes display an interesting window upon the financial world of a society. Most of us simply use a note without delving any deeper but here I took a visual meander around the world. 

 

 

Exploring the Female presence on Banknotes

In celebration of Womanhood during the month of March I chose to explore the female presence on banknotes in a library display.  Many stopped by to peruse the wide array which crossed continents, all were genuine, some in current circulation; others long since obsolete; all fascinating.
