40 Years after FESTAC, the African Culture and Design Festival (ACDF) Beckons

-

Africa’s rich cultural heritage can no longer be overlooked or viewed
remotely from discriminatory and narrow foreign perspectives.

We as a continent have been able to not only preserve our art but,
express our originality through various means and channels such as
entertainment, fashion and interior design, extending our creative
expressiveness to other cultures.

The African Culture & Design Festival serves as the nexus between our
past and our present through the careful selection of relevant and
specific objects which together must prove that both are convincingly
related.




Themed ‘THIS IS AFRICA’ this festival, being one of a kind, will bring
the world to experience Africa in Nigeria through tastefully segmented
pavilions namely; Design, Modern and Contemporary Art, Traditional
Installation and The Video Installation.

Curating the Design Pavilion will be one of Nigeria’s most celebrated
curators, Titi Ogunfere, President Interior Designers Association of
Nigeria (IDAN). This will feature notable works from Malian design
maverick Cheick Diallo, the avant-garde pieces of Nigeria’s Damola Rufai
as well as several other personalities that continue to redefine
interior architecture globally.
