BLACK HISTORY MONTH
THE BLACK HISTORY
COLLECTION
Hijacking The Metroplitan Museum of Art by turning a clothing collection into a museum exhibit.
Black history has never been fairly represented in America. Especially in institutionalized organizations like public schools and museums.
So on February 15, 2020, we debuted The Black History Collection—5 uniquely designed coveralls, featuring 5 different Black icons in history—and dropped them as a Black History Art Exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. AKA The first ever clothing collection to hijack The Met.

For those who saw our art exhibit and wanted to learn more, we designed and handed out Black History Collection Pamphlets which mimicked the design of The Metropolitan Museum Maps. Except instead of showing the interiro map of the museum, we listed out the names and addresses of all black curated African American museums in New York.
We didn’t stop there. We posted The Black History Collection
to Instagram and hijacked @MetMuseum’s tagged photos page
to feature The Collection to their 3.5M followers.
