Jocktan Makeke – Award winning Fashion Designer

At 4pm, on the last Saturday of the month of February (24th), we are rolling out the red carpet here at Nafasi Art Space and putting on our best African-inspired traditional clothing for “I AM MAKEKE” – a fashion event celebrating the career of Jocktan Makeke of Makeke International, who is an award-winning fashion designer and costuming artist based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, who uses a variety of avant garde mediums to create intricate and sometimes otherworldly Afro-futuristic designs.

There will be an exhibition, a documentary, a fashion show, a traditional dance, a variety of food and drinks, (and since it’s his birthday, there may even be cake!). So show up or miss out on this grand event!

4-6pm Makeke will run a ChapChap Fashion Design Public Art Workshop

This will be open to both amateurs who want to learn and professional designers who want to extend their knowledge.

ALL ARE WELCOME
