Diversity & Culture

Join Drs. Tameka Ellington and Joseph Underwood as they discuss their research and collaboration that led to the development of both the TEXTURES exhibition that will be on view at the KSU Museum in September 2021 and the 200-page publication by Hirmer Press. They will be joined by Dr. Afiya Mbilishaka who contributed to the catalogue and is a hairstylist, therapist and Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of the District of Columbia.

TEXTURES  synthesizes research in history, fashion, art, and visual culture to reassess the “hair story” of peoples of African descent.
