Building upon last year's exploration of Barbie's evolution from toy to feminist icon, this year's "Meet Me @ the MoSO" delves into the importance of diverse representation in popular culture.

This timely discussion will take place following the opening reception for the Cat Washington exhibit at the Ferris Fine Art Gallery. We will examine Barbie's journey towards greater inclusivity, culminating in the highly anticipated release of the Black Barbie movie on February 27th.

Visitors are encouraged to share their own experiences and perspectives on how games, toys, and family stories have shaped their understanding of women's roles in society. The discussion will also delve into the profound impact of the suffrage movement on American elections from 1920 to the present day.

This event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of social change, representation, and the enduring power of storytelling.
