The Black Dress and Culture series engages scholars and practitioners in conversations on the multifaceted aspects of Black dress within cultural narratives. This two-part discussion will focus on the evolving perception and impact of Black fashion and aesthetics in history and popular culture and will address and expand upon the multiple viewpoints within ongoing and sometimes-contentious histories and contemporary practices.
