Dr. Tanisha C. Ford in conversation with Dr. Tiffany E. Barber on African American fashion culture and its influence on the past, present and future.
This conversation will contextualize the exhibit, Toward a Black Aesthetic: Kenneth P. Green Sr.'s Photographs of the 1960s and 70s, on display in the Jewett Gallery and the African American Center in the Main Library through April 21, 2024. In the show, Green's images pay homage to Black women whose strength, intellect and beauty he recognized through photographs that also highlight the fashion and politics of the era.
The discussion will revolve around fashion themes discussed in Ford's books, Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl's Love Letter to the Power of Fashion (St. Martins, June 2019), the award-winning Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul (UNC Press, 2015) and her latest book, Our Secret Society: Mollie Moon and the Glamour, Money, and Power Behind the Civil Rights Movement (HarperCollins, 2023).
