Join us as we look at the systems in place in our society that perpetuate injustice, and the layers of obstacles that repeatedly put people at a disadvantage. Embedded into classism is the exclusion of peoples. How can equitable opportunity benefit a community? Performances by Jecorey “1200” Arthur. Kentucky Opera’s The Marriage of Figaro will feature period silhouette costumes* that are crafted from denim and jean fabrics. Select pieces will be on display alongside historic denim from the Historic Locust Grove archive. As we discuss classism, we will look at the evolution of the textile; how it went from a working-class fabric to being more accepted in fashion and society.
