Woven: Unpicking the future of African and Caribbean Fabrics

Recorded live from the panel discussion at our event Common Threads in October 2019.

This lively discussion talks to six women who work in the textiles and fashion industry, with a focus on looking at the links between African and Caribbean textiles and designs. Insightful, humorous and nostalgic at points, the discussion explores cross cultural collaborations, The Swahili khanga, social status, the history of Madras fabrics in the Caribbean and rediscovering traditional African fabrics which are disappearing.

Panellists include;

Martine Henry, Milliner and Daniella Osemadewa, Gele headwrap stylist.
Fiona Compton, Know your Caribbean
Arieta Mujay, fashion consultant
Kaia Charles, NOW Gallery Curator and Cultural Manager
Christine Mhando, lecturer and fashion designer
