Discussion: 'Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design’ at SCAD FASH (feat. Co-Curator, Rafael Gomes)
Academy Award-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter was the first Black person to ever win the Oscar for Best Costume Design for her work on Ryan Coogler’s Marvel superhero film Black Panther (2018). Prior to this win, she’d previously been nominated for her work on Amistad (‘97) and Malcolm X (‘92). She’s also credited for films such as School Daze (‘88), Do the Right Thing (‘89), What’s Love Got to Do with It (‘93), B*A*P*S (‘97), Love & Basketball (‘00), and Selma (‘14) just to name a few. In December 2020, SCAD FASH (Atlanta) partnered with Carter to launch her premier exhibition, entitled 'Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design.'
For this week’s episode, I discuss the exhibition with the Director of SCAD FASH Exhibitions and Co-Curator for this exhibit, Rafael Gomes.
