African Dress: Fashion, Agency, Performance (Dress, Body, Culture)

Dress and fashion practices in Africa and the diaspora are dynamic and diverse, whether on the street or on the fashion runway. Focusing on the dressed body as a performance site, 'African Dress' explores how ideas and practices of dress contest or legitimise existing power structures through expressions of individual identity and the cultural and political order.
