Hibiscus Virtual Gallery is pleased to present Caribbean Couture - The Tapestry of Identity in the Diaspora: a programme of virtual exhibitions/workshops, exploring the use of design and fashion, in the Africanisation of Caribbean culture, in colonial and neo-colonial periods; to the present day. The programme will draw on experiences from both the Caribbean and Africa's diaspora.
The exhibitions/workshops, delivered on the last Wednesday of the month, for a period of seven months, and will be streamed live on Hibiscus Zoom platform. Each exhibition/workshop will last for approximately one hour and will consist of an audio visual presentation followed by a workshop led by the presenter. The entire content of the exhibitions/workshops will be recorded, with a view to an edited version subsequently being published on Hibiscus digital platforms. Hibiscus would like to extend its gratitude to Elli Michaela Young - The Jamaican Fashion Guild, who has been instrumental in helping to bring this programme to you.
