african-americana: the making and un-making
I partnered with my Interior Designer scholar advisor/mentor to exhibit what making spaces and clothing looks like made and unmade as Black feminist-womanist scholars at a PWI. This exhibit was hosted at Jule Collins Smith Museum of Art in 2022 as part of the creative scholarship showcasing faculty-student collaborations.
This partnership illustrated how historically Black women intimately co-created and collaborated in shared spaces in spite of white gaze and celebration. We tapped into our ancestral practices of sewing: quilting and garment-making with several types of African cloth–ankara and sweswe cloth.
