Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54 and the Power of Presence explores how dress functions as civic infrastructure that shapes belonging, authority, and public life. Grounded in the clothing and accessories of Justice Ginsburg and the worlds she moved through, the exhibition considers dress as signal, shield, and statement. What we wear, carry, and keep can help us navigate public expectations and change them. Moving between intimate personal items and the visual codes of professional power, Fashioning Justice shows how clothing can communicate care, conviction, and resistance through the most subtle details.

This exhibit is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P'11 and '14.
