Collection Conversations: Fashion

Explore how clothing reflects cultural identity, personal expression and the stories woven into our social history.  

Collection Conversations is a free program that brings the Powerhouse Collection to life through storytelling and curatorial insight. Led by Powerhouse volunteers, each talk invites you to see familiar objects in new and meaningful ways.
