Afro-Diasporic Adornement Research
This project is the culmination of a semester of research that investigates Afro-Diasporic adornment traditions and syncretism.
These are photos where I adorned myself with the objects I created While doing research. I had used a combination of techniques In my epigenetics: braiding, beading, and fabric wrapping. Combined with the technical skills I have learned in formal institutions: laser cutting, dye work, jewelry techniques, etc....
