DAFNEY AT FIELD THEORY
Join us on Friday November 22nd as we host Dafney for an interactive pop-up, highlighting the range of the line from Apparel to Accessories. The event will run from 6-9PM with music, small bites and sips. This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the St. Louis born and raised Designer, and try pieces on in person.
Yosh Dafney, a St. Louis-based designer, launched his brand, Dafney.co in 2020,. With a mission to create luxury apparel that blends creativity with high craftsmanship, Dafney taught himself sewing and textile work, channeling these skills into his debut collection, "MADA," which honors his mother’s legacy. The line is known for its unique shapes and commitment to detail, merging utility with aesthetics for lasting appeal
Dafney's work also explores themes of structure and function, making his recent show at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation especially fitting, where his fashion pieces were exhibited in conjunction with Scott Burton's "Shape Shift" sculptures. This collaborative event highlighted Dafney’s designs, characterized by bold, unconventional silhouettes that resonate with contemporary art and fashion enthusiasts in the St. Louis area

Language: A Time Capsule Conversation
Event Description:
Join us for an experimental and open-format discussion on the broad topic of Language. This conversation will explore how language shapes our world, influences our communication, and evolves over time. Guided by a language expert, we’ll dive into various perspectives and experiences from both participants and our guest speaker. Whether you're interested in linguistics, culture, or personal communication, this discussion offers a space to share ideas, ask questions, and broaden your understanding of this essential human experience.
We are honored to have our “Language” topic expert, Dr. Kristen Van Engan, available for questions and will be giving an introductory overview into linguistics. Dr. Van Engan is an associate professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Linguistics at Washington University.
About Time Capsule:
Time Capsule is an interactive platform designed to mark a specific moment in time and space, capturing the evolving thoughts and conversations of our present moment. Just as a traditional time capsule preserves physical markers for future generations, this project seeks to track the evolution of ideas. In a rapidly changing world, where the future remains uncertain, Time Capsule invites participants to contribute their perspectives on topics like Time, Light, and Language—concepts that continue to evolve and be understood. With an inherent belief in the future, this concept offers a space for experimental community dialogue, with a hope that the collective expansion of thought influences a more positive tomorrow.

TIME CAPSULE
A Leap day occurs once every four years. It is added to the calendar to keep the year synchronized with the astronomical year. On a day that exists to balance our counting of time, it seems fitting to question how we are viewing “time” in the first place.
Time is an experience in which we can see its effects. We count it down or up, measure it, and track it. A chef, an astrophysicist, a Buddhist, or a teacher will probably think of time very differently. This “Time Capsule” event is an invitation to share your perspective and hear from others.
Join us this Leap Day, February 29, for a collective discussion on “Time.”
This will be “Show & Tell” style, meaning if you would like to share, please bring an object, a theory, an experience, or an idea to share with others. We hope to have a unique conversation highlighting the many perceptions and understandings of “Time.”
Come to share or listen. Sign ups for sharing begin at 6:30. Discussion begins at 7pm.
