The Art of Ruth E. Carter

Costume designer Ruth E. Carter has shaped the story of the Black experience on screen. Her costume design on Marvel's BLACK PANTHER not only brought Afrofuturism to the mainstream, but also made her the first Black winner of an Oscar in costume design. Carter's wisdom and stories are paired with sketches, mood boards, and film stills. At its core, Carter's oeuvre celebrates Black heroes and sheroes, whether civil rights leaders or Wakandan warriors.
