February is coming to a close and with it Black History month, but you can still get in on the festivities and experience the rich culture and history of the black community in Brooklyn on Feb. 22 with a fashion show celebrating black art and history.
Black Artstory Month is an annual series that celebrates the contributions of the black community has made and is making within the visual and performing arts world. This year, Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership has teamed up with Black Gotham Experience to bring us the 7th iteration of the series.
“History is not only something that happened or happens to you, but also one’s impact on the world. We are thrilled to work with Myrtle Avenue to curate the 7th Annual Black Artstory to celebrate the ways Black Brooklyn has been a cultural hub for centuries and continues to this day. Since Black History Month intersects with New York Fashion Week, we turn our focus to Brooklyn style as both art and artifact to bring the past, present, and futur—front and center,” said Kamau Ware, founder of Black Gotham Experience (BGX).
