The Portland Art Museum will host another event this month in conjunction with their exhibit Native Fashion Now. More Than a Trend: Rethinking the “Native” in Fashion will be a lecture hosted by Jessica Metcalfe Ph.D., the author of Beyond the Buckskin. In this lecture Metcalfe will share highlights on the history of Native American adornment, the Native designers who are currently producing contemporary fashion, and the issues concerning Native appropriation in the mainstream fashion industry. Just a reminder, the exhibit is on view through September 4th and I suggest seeing it a least a couple of times. There are so many amazing items on view it’s hard to take it all in with one visit.
Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park, Sunday July 10, 2-3 pm, $16.99-$19.99 (includes museum admission)
