TOUCH OF AFRICA
founder of the ethical movement,
Felix Adler. Currently
studying to become the first
black clergyman at the Brooklyn
Society for Ethical Culture,
Hooper said he wanted to
explore and reimagine the two
minds.
“The film is really the story
of WEB DuBois who did a lot
of work with the Pan-African
movement, and his relationship
with Felix Adler who was
a Jewish immigrant who fought
against racial and social injustice,”
he said.
Hooper, who is bisexual and
raised in a southern Christian
home, was rejected by his church
after coming out. His faith
unshaken — he found solace
at the American Ethical Union.
Now on his way to ordination,
one of his goals is to showcase
how the group has played a vital
Caribbean L 50 ife, Feb. 15–21, 2019 BQ
role in being a safe space for the
identities and beliefs not part of
the status quo.
“I was very interested in
the relationship between them
because we are an organization
that does work around social
justice and believe in Black Lives
Matter and human issues, and
we’ve always been regressive in
really showing and promoting
the inclusivity of who we are,”
he said.
The 50-minute experimental
movie is a silent film that follows
the two men, portrayed by
two actors performing choreography
and other non-verbal
actions.
Also making an appearance
in the film is Henry Sylvester
Williams — the Trinidadian
pan-Africanist and lawyer.
As a longtime admirer of
these men, Hooper was inspired
to create this film because he
said the work these men left
behind was worth examining,
particularly in modern times.
And said it was worth exploring
how its worked to change.
ion statement on the heads
of the men as they strut the
runway.
He stayed away from a
full African fabric, collection,
noting that the print
has become commercialized,
and indeed would have taken
away from the simplicity of
the designs.
He showed a flowing black
gown with asymmetric neckline,
trimmed with peach, and
ignored the no-white after
Labor Day, “diss” — with a
close-fitting white dress, finished
with a peach cape, as
well as an eye-popping floorlength
sequin skirt, matched
with a white shirt.
A white bridal gown, paired
with black blazer, among
other alluring creations captured
the designer’s consistency,
and brilliance, that has
kept him in the business for
over a decade.
Longtime sponsor, Caribbean
Food Delights, teamed
up Fashion Mingle, JLC PR,
and others to help cement
the night’s awesome presentation,
that D’March summed
up as good fashion, and hard
work, not the fast fashion
that sells for 20 bucks.
“Designers out there work
very hard, he said,” and called
for support of independent
designers.
