About the event

Elegant, influential and endlessly fascinating, Jacqueline Lee 'Jackie' Kennedy Onassis remains one of the twentieth century’s most enduring cultural icons. Join Adrian Dickens of Circa AD Jewels (personal jeweller and ArtsNational lecturer) and Kenneth Park (historian, curator and cultural ambassador) for two talks exploring the extraordinary life, style and jewellery of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Adrian Dickens reveals a remarkable collection of jewels associated with the former First Lady, examining how jewellery helped shape one of history’s most recognisable public images. Kenneth Park explores the life and times of Jackie herself – First Lady, fashion icon, cultural figure and private individual navigating fame, politics and reinvention. Ideal for lovers of jewellery, history, fashion, design and twentieth-century culture.
