Join Boston-area creatives and MFA staff as they explore themes of representation, styling, and identity in art and look at how these themes relate to the new exhibition “Fashioned by Sargent.” This multidisciplinary lecture, panel discussion, and performance considers how we represent out personalities and attributes through individual style.

Learn more about John Singer Sargent’s work the power he had in portraying his subjects.

Then hear from the speakers as they discuss the relevance of representation and manufactured identity in today’s image-conscious world.
