Black Magic Leopard is an amazing fabric that looks like leopard print from a distance, but when you get close up, it is actually images of Black folks in natural hairstyles. It was designed by two Black women: Queenora who saw an optical illusion, and Janine who made that optical illusion into reality. They discuss the creative process, collaboration with other artists, and seeing a project through from the initial idea to the response from the community it was made for."}
