Harlem Noire: Fashion Movement, Moment, & Memory Closing Event

  • Human Ecology Building (HEB), Terrace Level Display Cases & T49

Please join us for the closing event of the exhibition Harlem Noire: Fashion Movement, Moment, & Memory. The exhibit showcases the lived fashion experiences of several contemporary Black women, some of which will be in attendance for this event, and explores how everyday dress practices inform their individual and collective presence in Harlem’s physical and social spaces. Through this intentional display of clothing and accessories, Black women’s voices, stories, memories, and styles are situated front and center. The exhibition highlights the women’s fashion narratives by using theoretical frameworks rooted in Black feminism while exploring the connections between fashion and place.
