Rikki Byrd will be in conversation with Kimberly Jenkins and Tanisha Ford during a panel discussion at this conference  that will connect the African Diaspora in Brooklyn, New York City, and the rest of the world through the study of sartorial expression. Inspired by the current Fashioning the Women of Weeksville exhibit, The Legacy Project presents Community Curating: Stitching Together the History of a People. This conference will include artists, writers, academics, curators, and other members of the Weeksville community who have devoted themselves to understanding fashion in black communities.
