Petra Slinkard has devoted her career to educating the public about the role fashion and design play in the human experience. Through extensive cross-cultural research and partnerships with global leaders in the field, Slinkard has established herself as an expert-to-watch and helped make PEM’s innovative and inclusive fashion initiative into one of the best in the country. With storytelling as her magic power, she brings the past into the present in ways which capture hard-to-reach contemporary audiences. She is one of the women putting the Boston area on the map as a global cultural hub, and for all those reasons, she is the latest in Misstropolis’ Visionary Series.
