The Art and Activism of Dress with MIchael Sylvan Robinson (Dressed Classic)

In celebration of the Met Gala 2022 and American design, we speak to Michael Sylvan Robinson, the textile artist and queer activist behind Jordan Roth's show-stopping collaged "coat of many colors" worn to last year's festivities. Robinson joins us to discuss his thought-provoking use of textiles, clothing and the (dis)embodied form to explore entangled themes of identity, sexuality, violence, and healing.
