00:04We think of fashion as a way to tell mythological and archival stories of the
00:09black experience and to remember those who have come before us so that their
00:15stories may last forever we wanted to talk about the migration of African
00:25people from Africa through the Caribbean and through the southern United States
00:31and so we use the folk hero Anansi the spider to tell that story because as he
00:36migrated sometimes the stories change sometimes his gender change but what was
00:41the continuity was the fact that he traveled as the African people moved
00:50through the weaving of Anansi we come together as people and we tell these
00:55stories through the diaspora
