Current Show: Threads
Ashley Kim '23 is excited to exhibit the findings from her 2022-23 Lilley Fellowship, where she spent several months exploring sustainable fashion through the lens of industry, academia, and nonprofit organizations. "Everything around us screams 'buy this!' and it's hard to say no when the sticker price is cheap and everyone around us is partaking," Ashley said. "Today's consumer culture is driven by the rapid turnover of trends and the affordability of fast fashion." Threads will be featured in the gallery from Feb. 27 to March 20. An artist's reception will be held on Wednesday, March 15, at 9:08 a.m.
"EA's gallery gives a finished sense to the hours spent in the studio by providing a unique space in which work can be widely appreciated."
