Join the Women of Colour Network in collaboration with The Pentacrest Museums, the Stanley Museum of Art, and Special Collections and Archives to connect with intentionality behind creating and choosing materials in clothing and design. Come together to enjoy food and conversation as we explore traditions of handmaking and embellishment of objects passed down through generations of artisans.
