Speakers:
  • theo tyson
  • Diane Gistal
  • Nadia Bunyan
As part of the Africa Fashion exhibition and in dialogue withAunties’ Work, the McCord Stewart Museum, in collaboration with Nigra Iuventa, invites you to a conversation with theo tyson, Nadia Bunyan and Diane Gistal. Together, they will explore the history, memory and futurity of the Black diaspora across the Atlantic.

Taking Africa Fashion as a starting point, the discussion will address absences and silences in narratives of identity, culture and self-fashioning—spanning from cotton to couture. Fashion will be examined as a powerful vehicle of self-affirmation in postcolonial Africa, as well as a means of shaping both collective and individual narratives.
