Ruth E. Carter always knew she could be a first. In 2019, she became the first Black costumer to win an Academy Award. This year, she became the only Black woman with two Oscars. And she won't stop there.
Carter’s work is known for the heavy influence of Afrofuturism. It’s a concept she embraces but says is hardly new.
“We had visions for representation on camera of images of ourselves that we we’re not seeing, more positive images of ourselves,” she said.Some of those images have been fictional, like Lee’s seminal “Do the Right Thing.” Some of those images have been historical, like Ava DuVernay’s “Selma” and another Lee film, “Malcolm X.”
“You might have a junk drawer all of these one-offs … earrings and bits and bobbles,” she said. “You go, ‘Why am I saving all this?’ Well, that kind of thing is very useful for me, because I realized that you can create art with almost anything.”
