Exhibition Celebrates African Fashion and Culture

An exhibition titled 'Africa’s Fashion Diaspora' at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York showcases the influence of fashion on Black cultures, featuring 60 pieces by Black designers, and runs until December 29. In London, the market for African art continues to grow, exemplified by a recent private tour of Zanele Muholi's solo exhibition and the launch of Strauss and Co's Art Club, coinciding with the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. A parallel exhibition, 'Art of Palestine: From the River to the Sea,' at P21 Gallery highlights the resilience of Palestinian artists amidst conflict, featuring works from those trapped in Gaza, and runs until December 2024. Meanwhile, a new series reflecting on the legacy of curator Okwui Enwezor questions the visibility of African art exhibitions, noting a lack of attention to underrepresented shows. Ini Gallery in London is also gaining recognition for its efforts to promote African culture through various artistic mediums. This cultural landscape emphasizes the evolving narrative of African and Afro-diasporic art in global contexts.
