Abstract: Focusing on gold jewelry and dress from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, Good as Gold: Fashioning Senegalese Women offers an engaged experience of West African styles and trends. The exhibition foregrounded Wolof terms and ways of understanding the presentation of self, such as sañse and Signare (described below), in Senegalese life, past and present. Organized by Kevin D. Dumouchelle of the National Museum of African Art and curated by Amanda Maples at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), Good as Gold features over one hundred works including jewelry, ensembles, photography, and historic artifacts.
