On June 13th, the American Folklife Center joins June Family Day: 250 Years of American Fashion. We will be joined by The Legacy Collective, a group of local multi-disciplinary artists and members of the African American Craft Alliance, who will present a compelling display of African and African American textile and fashion traditions. This post presents some highlights from AFC’s past participation in Family Days events and provides a teaser for The Legacy Collective’s display and activity, during which audiences will be able to explore African American doll-making and to learn about — and experience — traditional and contemporary head wrapping.
