SUMMARY:Exhibition: Africa’s Fashion Heritage: Eight African Countries — Opens
DESCRIPTION:February 2–16\, Goodman Center Lobby\nFebruary 9–28\, Goodman Center\, Room D223  \nThis 3D virtual fashion exhibition presents 28 looks created by Professor Jennifer Lee\, Ph.D. (Fashion Business Management\, FIT). The exhibition brings together traditional African ensembles from prestigious museum collections alongside contemporary reinterpretations from The Museum at FIT\, curated by Elizabeth Way\, Ph.D.\, and designed by legendary fashion designers from eight African countries: Côte d’Ivoire\, the Democratic Republic of Congo\, Ethiopia\, Ghana\, Kenya\, Mali\, Nigeria\, and South Africa. \nOn screens in the Goodman Center Lobby\, each look is meticulously 3D modeled and interwoven with the stories of cultural trailblazers whose lives and legacies have inspired global audiences. Together\, these works honor the richness\, innovation\, and enduring influence of African fashion\, preserving its cultural heritage for future generations. \nThis project is part of The Legacy: Diversity Meets Technology (founded in 2021)\, a collegewide experiential learning initiative that promotes multicultural diversity through emerging technologies.  \nInteractive 3D views for each garment are available on The Legacy 2026 website. \nWatch the project video on YouTube. \nThe Goodman Lobby exhibition is free and open to the public.
