PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONLong before baseball
caps, basketball jerseys and low rider jeans, what we wore spoke volumes about who we are. In a historical exploration of
the artistry and symbolism of African fashion, Queens Historical Society’s National Touring Program presents EGYPT:
The Glorious 18th Dynasty.
In this unique lecture/demonstration
which features a magnificent collection of African regalia, volunteers are transformed from 21st Century students
into four of Africa’s most renown and well dressed rulers,Queen Hatshepsut, Queen Tiye, Pharaoh
Amenhotep III, and Pharaoh Tutankhamun – "The famed boy ruler".
In
under one hour, students learn about fashion design, experience another culture and are transported to another time, to another
continent, where caps were crowns, robes were regal and handmade sandals were the "Air Jordans" of their day.. Recommended
for elementary and middle school students.
