Inspired by our Africa Fashion exhibition, this conference will take an interdisciplinary cross-cultural approach, hosting speakers discussing fashion on and from the continent from 19th century to today. Join us as we celebrate the contemporary African creatives shifting the geography of global fashion. The vitality of the scene is irrepressible, its creativity limitless. We look forward to welcoming you at our Hochhauser Auditorium. The conference will also be live streamed and online-only tickets are available for £15. More information can be found here.

Onsite ticket price includes timed access to the Africa Fashion exhibition and a drinks reception on Friday 18th November 2022.
