Museum Africa in Johannesburg hosted a dynamic fashion pop-up event as part of the AFRI-Lab initiative, continuing the dialogue sparked by the successful Fashion Accounts exhibition. The event brought together industry leaders, designers, and researchers to engage in discussions on African fashion, culture, and creative processes.
AFRI-Lab, a mobile platform that moves between cultural spaces across Johannesburg, has previously appeared at locations such as the Transwerke Building, House of Thebe Magugu, and 44 Stanley Avenue. At each venue, it functions as a reference library, research hub, and discussion space, offering a curated collection of books, zines, and textiles. The initiative draws inspiration from independent libraries and research centers worldwide, including the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora in Ghana, RAW Material Company in Dakar, and the International Library of Fashion Research in Oslo.
