The Black Print is a two-day exhibition that explores the intersection of art, textiles, and fashion, and draws inspiration from traditional African roots and contemporary conversations of Blackness. Through graffiti, photography, and garment performance art, The Black Print showcases the vibrancy of fashion as an artistic and cultural form. Organized by creative director, and curator Ireanna Rogers, the exhibition uses material as a vehicle for storytelling, honoring ancestral legacies while embracing contemporary artistry.
On Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29, visitors can enjoy music and hors d’oeuvres while viewing artworks and designs by Infavian Davis, kolpeace, Melissa Sutherland Moss, Linnea Poole, Tajiel Wesley, and Jalen Williams. While Moss presents a live garment performance piece, models wearing designs by Davis will be on view throughout the gallery space. Guests will also be invited to play tabletop games like spades and dominoes––in celebration of communal traditions of Black leisure.
