FEATURING: Ruth Carter in conversation with Dr. Stephane Dunn

African Diaspora art and culture takes many forms. The Black experience is a dynamic expression that presents itself in creative ways that go far beyond the canvas. As we explore the diversity of the Diaspora, it is equally imperative to explore its diversity in expression.

This week’s panel is a special edition conversation with Academy Award winning Costume Designer, Ruth Carter. From “Do the Right Thing” to “Black Panther”, Ruth Carter has been a force in articulating the African Diasporic experience through fashion and film. Our conversation goes behind the scenes to uncover the practical and philosophical approaches to fashion, design, film and media in Ruth’s practice. We will also explore the multiple pathways artists can take to realize their vision and voice.
