Curator Conversations: The Making of DIVA 10/3/26

Join Kate Bailey, V&A curator, and Jill D’Alessandro, Director and Curator of the Avenir Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion, for a behind‑the‑scenes conversation about the making of the DAM's new exhibit, DIVA.

This groundbreaking exhibition brings together more than 250 objects and over 60 show‑stopping costumes worn by legends—including pieces from Marilyn Monroe to a stunning look from one of Rihanna’s Met Gala appearances. Hear from the curators behind this dazzling exploration of how these stars use fashion and performance to not just entertain, but to demand visibility and ignite social change.
