We are getting closer and closer to the opening of our spring 2021 fashion exhibit: CONSUMING DESIRES: The Great American Wedding. When and how did weddings become a commercial industry, and did the 19th century American bride legally own any of this stuff after the knot was tied? How was marriage a pathway to legal personhood for enslaved and freepersons in 19th century America? How have we manifested our internal desires into consumable, mass-produced products? These qu...estions and more examined in this Spring exhibit! - - - - #gcvmuseum #JohnLWehleGallery #ConsumingDesiresTheGreatAmericanWedding #Brides #LegalPersonhood #WeddingIndustry See more
