Behind the Seams: Fashioning Gender – May 11
Pink for girls? Pants for boys? From color to cut, what we wear is infused with our era’s ideas about gender. Join Curator of Collections, Clara Berg, for an intimate session to view historic fashions in MOHAI’s collection which align with, deviate from and expand our ideas about gendered clothing.
Denny Lecture: Black Power and Solidarity on Campus and Beyond – May 29
MOHAI’s annual Denny Lecture presents the very best in regional historical scholarship. 2024’s lecture will feature author and professor Marc Arsell Robinson to discuss solidarity on college campuses. Learn the strategies for cross-cultural organizing that led to the success of UW’s Black Student Union and how this can be applied to liberation struggles today.
