Charcoal SS’23 Fashion Show: “Where the Light Ends”

Launched five years ago, Charcoal, the student-run multimedia magazine celebrating artists of color and their stories, ceased publication with a fashion show and goodbye party May 5 at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground. The magazine, published twice yearly, featured a mix of photography, fashion, art, and essays.
