African Fashion Research Institute

AFRI aims to engage both local and global African fashion activists, pioneers, academics, makers, thinkers, students, critics and leaders through fashion-driven decolonial research projects via platforms and networks of knowledge generation and exchange using online and shareable materials for outreach, curricula and general public interest

In addition, we seek partnerships and collaborations that forefront African fashion as key to staking out new cultural and conceptual positions, articulating and archiving unique, diverse, alternate identity narratives, and, rethinking and reframing decolonial fashion aesthetics and practices emerging on and from the continent and its diaspora.
