Connecting Afro Futures: Fashion x Hair x Design
is published in connection with the eponymous exhibition at the
Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin. The magalog takes up the positions
presented in it from the two project hubs in Dakar and Kampala and
expands on them with discursive and visual contributions such as essays,
interviews, photo spreads, and illustrations. Fashion and hair in the
African context as well as the question of Afro Futures that is posed in
the title of the project, are discussed and staged visually not so much
from an ethnological perspective as from a decolonialised perspective
on global developments in design.
