Join us for an intimate conversation with House of Aama, the visionary mother-and-daughter design duo reshaping luxury through heritage and storytelling. As part of Hoodoo Heritage Month, this program explores cultural memory, style, and spirituality through Luisah Teish’s Jambalaya. Together, we’ll consider how ancestral traditions, family narratives, and contemporary Black creativity shape new pathways for spiritual connection and community.
Part of Aama Studio is an intimate series exploring storytelling, authorship, and cultural memory — blending House of Aama’s world with literature and communal dialogue. Each session features an author or book theme paired with a creative prompt, moderated conversation, or personal reflection designed to invite meaningful participation. House of Aama is thrilled to partner with Art + Practice’s Behind the Page series to launch their official literary program.
House of Aama explores the folkways of the Black experience by designing timeless garments with nostalgic references informed by historical research, archival analysis, and storytelling. Aama expands the breadth of its work into various mediums of visual storytelling including film and installation practices. Weaving the intersection of fashion, art and history, they aim to evoke dialogue and social commentary around heritage, remembrance, and to shed light on nuanced histories.
