dress me beautiful: the future of fashion

Saturday 19th October 2024

Northern School of Contemporary Dance

Fashion is a creative expression connecting the observer, the body, and the surroundings. Congolese-born South African designer Papy Kaluw and guest artists will playfully explore the intersection between textiles, activism and movement to envision a fashion-forward world.

Curated by Khadijah Ibrahiim, this immersive performance exhibition will illustrate the beauty of ethical design and its potential to inspire social action. Papy Kaluw and his brand, Urban Zulu, are all about African People uniting. From Cape Town to New York Fashion Week, Papy has positioned the brand as an ambassador for the urban and culture-conscious, through its garments and use of textile aesthetics, the brand tells profound African stories. Join us as we pave the way for a more mindful and stylish tomorrow.
