Product details
- Black designers have previously been marginalised, overlooked, or even erased from history
-
Finally, they're given their due in the first book to celebrate a century of groundbreaking work by Black graphic artists, architects and fashion designers whose work has helped to define key cultural moments and movements.
- Organized into three sections focusing on Fashion, Architecture and Graphic Design, Prempeh uses the pioneering work of key figures from the twentieth and twenty-first century to explore important aspects of how Black design has been perceived within culture and society.
- From the necessity of the sidehustle, to interrogating the value placed on Black design, from reclaiming traditions, to exploring how design can be a form of protest, this book brings to the fore the stories of figures such as Ann Lowe, Dapper Dan, Norma Sklarek, Francis Kéré, Emory Douglas and Liz Montague to unpick what it means to be a Black designer.
- Hardback, 24 x 2 x 17 cm, 240 pages.
