You should join the American Swedish Historical Museum virtual talk “Sisterhood of the Varjo Dress: Women who wore Marimekko and what it meant to them” by Alexandra Lange and learn beyond the aesthetic elements of Marimekko.
In this talk, Lange will offer a history of the artists, writers, and designers who chose Marimekko as their uniform from the 1960s onwards, describing how the dress designs aligned with their cultural politics and expanding opportunities for women.
The talk will be held over Zoom and is $10 for ASHM, FASDV, and Fabric Workshop Museum members and $15 for nonmembers.
