Historic Deerfield, Lecture

AN ILLUSTRATED VIRTUAL CONVERSATION
Join the Peabody Essex Museum’s Petra Slinkard, Director of Curatorial Affairs and The Nancy B. Putnam Curator of Fashion and Textiles, and David E. Lazaro, Historic Deerfield’s Curator of Textiles, on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, at 7 p.m. for a free virtual illustrated conversation on collecting and interpreting dress today through the lens of their respective institutions. Both museums, while geographically close, experienced similar and different trajectories as they collected clothing in the 20th century. Today, the two institutions aim to move forward with a more global and inclusive eye. The curators will discuss their respective institutions’ histories of collecting fashion, and how they explore new directions and challenges in the 21st century.
This program is free, and is presented live via Zoom webinar. The link to the webinar is sent to registrants prior to the event. Recordings are available to registrants for a period of two weeks after each session. Please use the button below to register online.
