Jody Turner presented her ideas on the trends of popular culture on March 23, 2006 to a sold-out crowd at the Henry Art Gallery. Accompanied by a slide show of topics covered, Ms. Turner braided and looped observations on what's happening around the globe with the gentleness and fluidity she's become known for. From issues of sustainability, to experimental retail spaces, to the collective unconscious of baby boomers, gen Xers and gen Ys in America, Ms. Turner inspired us with snapshots of the latest in trends and innovation today.
