The Jean Pigozzi African Art Collection

Africa Fashion, Victoria & Albert Museum South-Kensington, London, UK

from 02/07/2022 to 16/04/2023

Spanning iconic mid-20th century to contemporary creatives through photographs, textiles, music and the visual arts, Africa Fashion explores the vitality and global impact of a fashion scene as dynamic and varied as the continent itself. Garments and textiles dating from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, contextualized by a range of cultural touchstones such as Drum magazines, Fela Kuti record albums, and studio photography from Sanlé Sory and Seydou Keïta, celebrate the transformative and liberatory power of self-fashioning in this first-of-its-kind traveling exhibition. After V&A South Kensington London, the show will travel to: Brooklyn Museum New-York (2023), Portland Art Museum, USA (2023-2024), National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, 31 May to 6 October 2024), Field Museum, Chicago, 28 February to 29 June 2025, Musée du Quai Branly, Paris, France (31 March to 12 July 2026).
