Free & Open to the Public
The college will host a symposium for the exhibition Yosooi no atae: Fashion and Vernacular Photography in 20th Century Japan currently on display at the Thorne Sagendorph Art Gallery through December 9, 2023. Featured speakers will be Ayaka Iida, fashion historian & assistant curator of the Japan Society of NYC, and art historian Dr. Lucile Druet of Kansai Gaidai University, Japan.

Following the symposium, curator-led tours of the exhibit will offered at the Thorne Gallery.
