Join KSU fashion school faculty members Kim Hahn, Trista Grieder, Melissa Campbell as well as students Alexandra Reich, Megan Rodgers, and Michelle Park who will share their inspiration and process behind their designs for the exhibition that marks the 50th commemoration of May 4th. The KSU School of Fashion and Merchandising is presenting designs by faculty and students that use fashion to create a dialogue about war and peace, political discourse, conflict resolution, and social justice today. Free for students, faculty, and staff or included with paid general admission.

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 Kent State’s shootings on May 4, 1970. Almost 50 years ago, the shootings of Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ 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.
