It's time for critical, actionable conversations. Join our virtual event series: 'Retail as a Portal'

The Fashion and Race Database Conversation Series

The Fashion and Race Database Conversation Series is launching with a three-part panel series entitled, ‘Retail as a Portal,’ that explores how retail can empower us to produce and consume with positive, social impact and ignite systemic change. This series is hosted by professor and Founder of The Fashion and Race Database, Kimberly Jenkins, and she will be joined by figures in the fashion system who are leading through visionary thinking in business and creativity.

The first installment of this series, ‘Designing New Marketplaces for Systemic Change,’ will feature an acclaimed design duo and an ethnobotanist who are transforming retail in both concept and practice. 

Thank you to our title sponsor, Holt Renfrew’s H Project which carries a mandate of connecting consumers, causes and communities to inspire a new generation of purposeful luxury and drive positive change in the world. The mandate of the Fashion and Race Database aligned with Holt Renfrew’s commitment to honour diversity and inclusion and we're thrilled to have their support and leadership in bringing these conversations forward.

All events are free to register and open to the public. The conversations will be recorded.
