TUTFashionDesign

This is an open call to students, emerging designers, makers and thinkers across Africa to explore the future of textiles through regeneration, material innovation and indigenous knowledge systems. Participants are invited to develop a 30cm x 30cm textile, material, or concept that responds to the question:

What does an African textile future look like when it restores ecosystems, centres local knowledges and materials, and reimagines production?

Important dates: 

13 July: Deadline for phase 1

22 July: Deadline for submission of prototype 

31 July and 1 August: Exhibition at Africa Textile Talks
