Join us for a discussion with young collectors –– including Emily Adams Bode Aujla (BODE), Aaron Singh Aujla (Green River Project LCC), and Camille Okhio (ELLE Decor)–– who are brazenly blending the old with the new, embracing anachronism and pastiche, deploying serious knowledge with wit and humor, and considering the material culture of the past through the lens of contemporary values. Moderated by Michael Diaz-Griffith, author of The New Antiquarians: At Home with Young Collectors (forthcoming from Phaidon/The Monacelli Press in June 2023), Co-Chair of Young Collectors Night at The Winter Show, and Executive Director & COO of the Design Leadership Network.
