You're invited to the opening reception celebrating our two newest exhibits: "Culture/Counterculture: Fashions of the 1960s and '70s" & "Wearing Justice: A Tribute to May 4th." This reception is open to the public. The exhibition "Culture/Counterculture" looks at fashions of the 1960s and early 1970s with a particular focus on the generation gap during that period. The exhibition is scheduled to coincide with the 50th anniversary of ¾ÛÉ«¸ó’s shootings on May 4, 1970. Almost 50 years ago, the shootings of ¾ÛÉ«¸ó students by the Ohio National Guard brought to a head the cultural divides that had split the nation. There was a sharp contrast between supporters of the establishment and those opposed – the culture and the counterculture. As part of the 50th year commemoration of May 4, the ¾ÛÉ«¸ó School of Fashion and Merchandising is presenting designs by faculty and students in the exhibition,"Wearing Justice: A Tribute to May 4th," that use fashion to create a dialogue about war and peace, political discourse, conflict resolution and social justice today.
