Celebrated fashion designer and textile artist, Therez Fleetwood, and Ahneva Ahneva, the visionary founder of the African Textile Museum, are reuniting after 30 years to present a captivating fashion-art collection, paying tribute to the Harlem Renaissance era and its influential visual artists. Their bond was forged years ago when Ahneva selected Therez to showcase her African-inspired designs in the first fashion special for BET, which led to another journey to Africa that included a joint fashion show.
Both Therez and Ahneva understand the significance of preserving Black fashion, art, and culture. This Artist Talk and exhibit dives deep into themes of Black life, identity, and the pursuit of cultural expression. The Harlem Renaissance Reverie collection not only highlights these extraordinary visual artists but also expands the human imagination in storytelling through fashion.
