Touring exhibition event, organised by The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
Join the Cummer Museum for a virtual talk with Kimberly Jenkins: lecturer, researcher and consultant who specialises in the sociocultural and historical influences behind why we wear what we wear. This event has been organised by the Museum in conjunction with Autograph's touring exhibition Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail The Dark Lioness, on view until 20 June. Login and learn as Jenkins shares how she is working to expand the narrative of fashion history.
Jenkins currently holds a position as Assistant Professor of Fashion Studies at Ryerson University, having formerly taught at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute in New York for seven years. She is best known for creating the course, Fashion and Race, at Parsons and for working as an education consultant for Gucci to support their efforts on cultural inclusion and diversity.
