"I wanted to think about how fashion designers — particularly 20th- and 21st-century fashion designers — are using their artistic practice to define what it means to be a Black citizen in this international world." – Elizabeth Way, curator of "Africa’s Fashion Diaspora"

Madame Willi Posey, who taught acclaimed multimedia artist Faith Ringgold to sew, used fashion to craft her own narrative in Harlem. Now, designers across the African diaspora are using their creations to reclaim cultural heritage and reshape the narrative of identity and the future itself. 

Seriously can’t wait to see how this FIT NYT exhibition brings these powerful stories to life.
