About
Hello! My Name is Ciara Du Bose and I am a multidisciplinary artist. I am a Black Creole American Fashion Design Student, at the Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta ! I began my professional career in high school after starting my first apparel manufacturing business and landing a contracted position at Snapchat in Digital Media Creation. This aided me in gaining more experience in roles like Artist Marketing and videography with Sony Music Entertainment. I am a primarily self taught designer and recently began taking bridalwear commissions under my company , Magnolia Society, which focuses on the merge between fashion and Black literature and media preservation. I am a GirlsWhoCode alumna, and plan to continue research in computer science. When im not working directly within the realm of fashion, I am focusing on developing my skills in documentative photography and videography, creative writing and fine art painting.
"In Pursuit of Warmth", explores the idealism of historical preservation in Natchez,Mississippi. - I hated natchez as a kid. I hated that I had no cell service, and that all I could do was go to the library, rodeos, Sunday school, or ride 3 minutes to Louisianne to buy my grandpa’s lotto tickets. I hated that I always brought back her dirt on my shoes. I hated that i had better luck finding out my great great great grandmother’s name in our African-American slavery museum, than the over grown cemeteries. I hated shucking peas until my fingers were purple, i hated watching tourists take pictures in front of our magnolia trees, not even pausing to guess who fertilized them. Since the passing of my grandmother, I’ve been going back more and more . And I can’t believe it took me so long to see all that was in front of me. Our community has a love unlike I’ve ever seen. One that can only be born out of perseverance. My grandmother was the town teacher, loved by all, and feared by all too. She taught us to write down everything, to document our stories so that we can never be told who we are, and who we aren’t, but so that we would already know ,and our kids would know ,and their kids would know. my cousin van who you see pictured on his porch, is a renowned cook, and owns the entire 3 lot property. Him and his father Alvin, who lives in another home next-door , grow their own food. That is wealth. preservation is wealth. Preserving all religious spaces so that we have the choice and freedom to our own faith. Preserving our names. Preserving our trees and our homes. Pictures and recipes. Journals and birthday cards. Even in a town like Natchez, it is far better to know all that has been done, so that It may never be repeated. As a dedication to my grandmother and the sacrifices she’s made for our family. I’ve made a commitment to document our stories and share them with the world. I made a commitment to educate myself. And I made a commitment to you, to never stop letting you know there’s still warmth in this world , especially where you least expect.
