“Good as Gold: Fashioning Senegalese Women” Exhibit Opening
October 24, 2018
Free
This exhibit is based on the Senegalese concept of sañse: dressing up to look and feel good. Butterfly pendants, gold-ribbed bracelets, and many other pieces of intricate gold jewelry will be on display in all their glittery glory. Designer Oumuo Sy, who’s been called Senegal’s queen of couture, is creating an elaborate costume—from a towering hat to toe rings—specifically for the show.
