BSoA To Showcase “Our History In Hats”

The Bermuda Society of Arts is getting set to present “Our History in Hats,” an exhibit that will show off the many styles of head wear that have been popular in Bermuda over the past three centuries.

Artists Donna Pink and Ronnie Chameau have recreated hat styles that were worn by women in Bermuda from the 1700s to the 1950s using natural, local materials such as coconut palm matting.

According to the promo flyer, “This exhibit is designed to demonstrate how simple, organic materials, normally not considered beautiful, can be used creatively to achieve the same fashionable looks worn by women throughout the ages.”

“Our History in Hats” will open at the Edinburgh Gallery at City Hall on Friday, June 6, 2014 from 5.00pm through 7.00pm, running until June 24.
