Gloria Allred’s pink suits

This talk is an exploration of the unique magic of the colour pink from a plethora of perspectives: scientific, artistic, cultural, psychological, historical and more. The meaning of pink keeps changing. How did it move from a colour that was acceptable for men (thought to be too “strong” for a woman) to a colour that so loudly communicates the “feminine”? See how artists have employed this hue to carry a subversive message.
Free, everyone welcome!
