African craftsmanship is too often viewed as a static archive of the past. Curated by FAD, Woven Legacies challenges this perception, celebrating African art as a living heritage and a constantly evolving movement. This exhibition goes beyond the final product to reveal the complex journey of the diasporic designer—from the “Market of Inspiration” to the realities of “Designing Between Worlds.”
Through textile installations featuring Melhfa, Raffia, and upcycled denim, we invite you to explore a future of fashion rooted in resilience, sustainability, and cross-continental collaboration.
