Join Curator Elizabeth Way for a tour of Africa’s Fashion Diaspora, an innovative exhibition that explores fashion’s role in shaping international Black diasporic cultures.

This exhibition is the first to examine fashion as a mode of cross-diasporic cultural production. Sixty ensembles and accessories by Black designers from Africa, Europe, North and South America, and the Caribbean are placed in dialogue with each other, showing how these designers take complex inspirations from their own Black cultures and others across the diaspora.

Elizabeth Way is an associate curator at The Museum at FIT as well as a fashion historian whose personal research focuses on the intersection of Black American culture and fashion.
