Went to a fantastic exhibition at the V&A about fashion from the African continent.
Dynamic and diverse as the different countries, the exhibition explored how politics and history manifested in its fashion scene.
Creativity and fashion allows us to write our own narratives. They are spaces for people who have a vision for the continent and who want to show its strength and its immense humanity, its beauty, and its material and non-material resources.

I like your photos of this exhibit. The history of kente cloth as political garment is very interesting.
