PROJECT DIASPORA
MAY-AUGUST 20
Using himself as a subject, Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop recreates portraits of Africans in Western and Asian art from the 15th to the 19th century in his first museum exhibit, “Project Diaspora” at SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film. Diop is model, photographer, editor, costume designer and stylist for these 18 stunning images that feature him in elaborate costumes with whimsical details such as modern sports equipment (think whistles and soccer balls).
The museum is closed on Mondays and opens at 10 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon on Sundays. Admission is free for museum members, SCAD faculty, staff and students with a SCAD Card, $10 for general admission and $8 for seniors and military members.
