Guild, Joshua B.Allison, Adia N.2025-07-302025-07-302025-04-25https://theses-dissertations.princeton.edu/handle/88435/dsp01cz30px09nThis essay explores how Black queer identities disrupt, reimagine, and expand Black Futurist visions through sartorial expression. This thesis interrogates fashion as a site of radical possibility, where garments become tools for decolonizing time, space, and embodiment. By centering queer Black narratives often marginalized in Afrofuturist discourse, this project maps a fugitive fashion imaginary: one that refuses to separate Black Futurism with is queer subtexts. Through interdisciplinary methods, from historical and visual analysis to entering the makerspace, this essay reveals how the interplay of theme, fabric, silhouette, and adornment queers futurism itself, offering a blueprint for worlds where Black queer life and representation thrives unbounded through Black Futurism.
