A legacy of elegance unfolds through 12 historically inspired costumes by fiber artist Margarette Joyner, engaging in a compelling dialogue with 19th-century archival portraiture. Drawing on the rich trends of formal attire that span several centuries, Joyner masterfully merges traditional and contemporary African textiles, adorned with cowry shell embellishments. This innovative fusion reimagines the iconography of high-society garments, highlighting their cultural significance across diverse African-descended populations.
