Homecoming & Browns Present: Pushing The African Visual Identity Discourse Forward

Visually, the evolution and impact of African culture on a global scale is undeniable. While the discourse around ownership, appropriation and responsibility continues to evolve. The dialogue on how to evolve beyond criticism is just starting. In a conversation with pioneers spanning the spaces of fashion, art and culture, this discussion will focus on the growing global dominance of African identity narratives- including its criticisms and impact. It will then explore ways in which African visual narratives can be propelled forward, especially within the fashion industry.
