SUMMARY:Exhibition: Africa's Fashion Diaspora — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Sindiso Khumalo\, printed cotton dress detail\, Spring 2021\, South Africa. The Museum at FIT\, museum purchase\, 2023.32.1\nSeptember 18–December 29\, 2024\nSpecial Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\n \nAfrica’s Fashion Diaspora examines fashion as a medium of storytelling and as a vital way for designers to contribute to longstanding and evolving ideas of transnational Black cultural spaces. Whether described as Négritude\, Pan-Africanism\, the Black Atlantic\, Black consciousness\, or Afrofuturism\, Black thinkers and creatives\, from philosophers to writers\, musicians\, and visual artists\, have theorized cultural connections between diverse communities of African descent. This exhibition explores designers from Africa\, the Americas\, and Europe who interpret and construct the culture of their distinct localities and communities for an international audience and/or reach across geographies to tie Black cultural practices together through their designs. \nExamples include South African designer Sindiso Khumalo’s textile print inspired by American abolitionist Harriet Tubman\, British designer Grace Wales Bonner’s tuxedo informed by the court of Emperor Haile Selassie in Ethiopia\, and French designer Olivier Rousteing’s collection for Balmain based on Black American cowboys. Through approximately 60 ensembles\, textiles\, and accessories\, Africa’s Fashion Diaspora illustrates how fashion designers have contributed to international dialogues to chronicle\, evaluate\, and expand modern ideas of Blackness. \nAfrica’s Fashion Diaspora is curated by MFIT associate curator Elizabeth Way. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Social Responsibilities of Museums — Opens
DESCRIPTION:January 21–April 20\, 2025 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fourth Floor Exhibition Case \nStudents in FIT’s Art History and Museum Professions program reflected on the social responsibilities of museums in recognition of Black History Month. The Art History and Museum Professions major prepares students for positions in museums and other art institutions\, with a focus on collections management\, development\, education\, public relations\, rights and reproductions\, visitor services\, special events\, and exhibitions. By showcasing books related to five temporary exhibitions hosted by five different New York City museums\, this exhibition\, held at the Gladys Marcus Library’s fourth-floor exhibit case\, hopes to highlight the work being done to uplift marginalized communities. \nShows like the Whitney’s Edges of Ailey and The Met’s Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt 1876–Now provide a look into the world of Black artists and how they have shaped so much of American art and music\, yet their names often remain unspoken. History is littered with forgotten voices\, but large cultural centers can forever change the way something is remembered. Museums hold power\, and with that power comes an obligation to the communities that support them. The types of artwork and artists that museums choose for exhibitions reveal what is valued in society. By highlighting Black and Latin American artists\, New York museums prove that they understand the responsibility they hold\, as they seek to include those who have been on the sidelines for far too long. \nAn opening reception will be held Monday\, February 24\, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. \nCurator: Lisa Yen\nFaculty Advisor: Professor Kyunghee Pyun\, Assistant Chair\, Art History and Museum Professions\nGraphic Designer: Lisa Yen\nContributors: Thursday Abad\, Samantha Barnes\, Ashley Villegas Hernandez\, JaDea Houston\, Cassandra (Cassie) Hughes (students in the Art History and Museum Professions program) \nThis event is part of the FIT Diversity Collective’s Black History Month activities; for a full schedule of activities\, visit fitnyc.edu/blackhistory. \nThis exhibition is for the FIT community only.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Resistance and Resilience: The Weavers of Oaxaca — Opens
DESCRIPTION:January 27\, 2025–January 5\, 2026\nGladys Marcus Library\, Fifth Floor Gallery \n“Weaving is not just an economic activity; it is a means through which Zapotec women express their cultural identity and maintain a connection to their ancestral heritage.” —from Lynn Stephen’s book\, Zapotec Women \nAs you step into this exhibition\, imagine walking through the vibrant villages of Oaxaca. Every home is filled with the clack of looms and the scent of natural dyes simmering over open fires. In these spaces\, weaving is far more than craft; it is a way of life. Here\, threads connect past and present\, and each textile tells a story of resilience. For generations\, the artisans of Oaxaca have woven their world into intricate patterns that speak of nature\, ancestors\, and community bonds. Their craft represents an unbroken line of knowledge passed down through centuries\, each knot and dye preserving both their heritage and identity. \nToday\, this work faces new challenges. The same global markets that bring opportunity also demand compromise\, pressuring artisans to adapt their traditional designs and methods to appeal to modern tastes and industrial efficiency. What was once woven for local use now finds itself at the crossroads of preservation and commodification\, as artisans delicately balance their heritage with the demands of survival. Yet\, these weavers resist\, transforming their art into a quiet rebellion that continuously preserves cultural identity while navigating a rapidly changing world. \nThis exhibition explores the diversity of Oaxaca’s weaving traditions\, encompassing techniques and designs from different regions of the state. The natural dyes featured in these textiles\, drawn from plants\, insects\, and minerals\, embody a deep relationship with the land and its ecosystems. However\, these dyes are not inherently sustainable. Their reliance on nature’s cycles\, and the ecosystems that support them\, places them at risk—dependent on human practices that must prioritize balance\, preservation\, and systemic care. The relationship between artisans and the natural world is one of both beauty and fragility\, reminding us that such resources require thoughtful stewardship. \nThrough these curated images\, textiles\, and garments\, you’ll witness how weaving has become a tool for empowerment and collective action. Beyond its economic role\, weaving fosters community resilience and solidarity\, offering a platform for addressing broader social and environmental challenges. Each piece reflects the intricate patterns of adaptation\, creativity\, and pride that define Oaxaca’s artisans and their enduring traditions. \nThis exhibition invites you to honor these weavers as cultural keepers and storytellers\, preserving their heritage one thread at a time. It is a call to recognize the resilience of their practices and the shared responsibility to support their continued legacy\, ensuring their artistry and stories enrich generations to come. \nVisual Ethnographers: Professor Souzeina Mushtaq\, Communication and Media Studies\, University of Wisconsin–River Falls\nProfessor Praveen K. Chaudhry\, Global Fashion Management and Social Sciences\, FIT \nProject Research Assistant: Isabela Crane-Rodriguez\, FIT \nCurator: Professor Kyunghee Pyun\, History of Art\, FIT \nDesigner: Nanja Andriananjason\, FIT \nAdvisors: Professor Mónica Mendoza Bravo\, Chair\, Global Fashion Management\, CENTRO\, Mexico City\nProfessor Alberto Robles Estrella\, Fashion and Textile Design\, CENTRO\, Mexico City \nThis exhibition is dedicated to Pamela Ellsworth\, chair of the Global Fashion Management program. \nResistance and Resilience: The Weavers of Oaxaca is sponsored and supported by the Presidential Scholars Program\, Dean\, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences\, Department of Social Sciences\, Department of Global Fashion Management\, Office of the International Programs\, and Department of Global Fashion Management\, Centro\, Mexico City.
