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.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-africas-fashion-diaspora-opens/ LOCATION:Special Exhibitions Gallery\, The Museum at FIT\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public ORGANIZER;CN="The Museum at FIT":MAILTO:museuminfo@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7536854;-73.9991637 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Special Exhibitions Gallery The Museum at FIT Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-73.9991637,40.7536854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240919T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240919T134500 DTSTAMP:20260405T230711 CREATED:20240911T155424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240911T170814Z UID:10006997-1726750800-1726753500@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Meet Our New Faculty in the Liberal Arts\, Part 2 DESCRIPTION:José Blanco\n \n \n \n \n \n Dianne Bellino\n \n \n \n \n \n Christine Ballesteros\n \n \n\nGlobally Connected @ FIT is back for fall 2024 with “Meet New FIT Liberal Arts Faculty Members: Hear About the Global Aspects of Their Research.” \nJosé Blanco\, History of Art\nJosé is an associate professor in the History of Art department.

The exhibition brings together the work of fine artists and photographers\, and exhibition\, textile\, and interior designers who respond to natural and artificial light. The specific focus is on work that makes light its primary subject matter\, not just as the means to reveal other content. Some of the work explores the visible spectrum scientifically. Other pieces create environmental experiences through controlled lighting. \nThe exhibition is organized into four major categories: \n\nNatural Light—projects that use natural light to illuminate the work and cast shadows and transparencies;\nArtificial Light—installations with projections\, neon\, video\, lasers and other light sources;\nReflected Light—using materials such as iridescent paint\, mirrors and dichroic film to reflect light; and\nDepicted Light—paintings\, films and photography which shows the effect of light.\n\nPicturing Light is curated by Anne Finkelstein\, adjunct assistant professor of Spatial Experience Design. \nAbout the Art and Design Gallery \nThe Art and Design Gallery brings together the work of FIT students\, faculty\, alumni\, and invited outside artists in every exhibition. The gallery\, located in the glass-walled lobby of FIT’s Pomerantz Center\, is a window into the college and a window out\, serving as a space to foster learning and innovation. \nThe gallery is open 9 am to 5 pm daily. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-picturing-light-artists-explore-luminosity-opens/ LOCATION:Art and Design Gallery\, Pomerantz Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Public ORGANIZER;CN="Art and Design Gallery":MAILTO:gallery@fitnyc.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
