About this event
An evening lecture in FIT's amphitheatre on kawaii - the cute aesthetic that reshaped Japanese design and then leaked into global fashion. It runs alongside the museum's Doll Dressing exhibition, so it is worth arriving early to see the show first. A rare free talk on a subject usually confined to academic conferences.
Why we picked it
Free scholarly programming with no strings, timed early enough to combine with the exhibition, and the kind of niche subject that is normally paywalled behind a symposium fee.
Free entry
The Museum at FIT states 'all programs are free unless otherwise indicated'; no fee is indicated for this lecture.
