Mei Tao (@taomeitao) photographed The Museum of Fashion and Liberation, an exhibition on view at UMass Boston in December 2025.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The museum showcases work by Transnational Feminisms students at UMass Boston, examining the global fashion industry through an intersectional feminist lens. The exhibition exposes the extractive systems that generate immense profit while shaping the lives of women worldwide, and celebrates the care, creativity, and resistance of mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, garment workers, and visionaries engaged in world-making.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Created in collaboration with students and instructors Mei Tao, @cameronrussell, and @candacefam, the exhibition emerged from a course using fashion case studies to apply foundational feminist texts while co-creating critical, transnational research. Mei Tao photographed change makers including Angel Chang, Busayo, Dominique Drakeford, Fabscrap, Juana Burga, Korina Emmerich, Fibershed, Suay Sew Shop, and Ngozi Okaro / Custom Collaborative.
