Beyond the Cap and Gown

This student-produced exhibition considers UBC student clothing, the contexts in which students dress, and their diverse self-expressions.

We explore UBC student clothing through a range of themes. We look at:

  • The history of the UBC logo and the Thunderbird mascot
  • How students express individual and group identities through clothing
  • The ways students display identity through club membership
  • The changing demographics of the student body and how nationality affects student clothing

We hope this exhibition provokes you to think about how your clothing represents you.
