Making Superfine

Miller, co-curator of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, artist Torkwase Dyson, and artist Tanda Francis to learn about the collaborative and creative process of building the exhibition. Hear behind-the-scenes stories about how the artistic vision for the exhibition came to life to present a cultural and historical examination of Black style over three hundred years through the concept of dandyism.
