The African Fashion Research Institute (AFRI) presents AFRI Lab x 44, a month-long pop-up at 44 Stanley from Sat, Mar 29 – Tue, Apr 29, 2025. The AFRI Lab Pop-Up will serve as a dynamic space for knowledge-sharing and dialogue. As the third in a city-wide series, following activations at Constitution Hill and Museum Africa, this installation continues AFRI’s mission to bring a fresh eye to and challenge colonial narratives that have shaped fashion.

AFRI curates Afro-sustainable fashion knowledge, nurturing community, decolonial practices, and Africa’s rich material histories. The theme of this pop-up, Material Flows: Reversals, Revisions, Revivals, delves into Afro-sustainability by reimagining production cycles and championing new, conscious systems rooted in African traditions and material cultures. Located next to The Bioscope, the AFRI space will host readings, discussions, workshops, and collaborations with partner tenants, offering hands-on experiences that complement AFRI’s digital platforms.

Come curious and leave inspired from Sat, Mar 29 – Tue, Apr 29, 2025 at 44 Stanley.
Entry to AFRI Lab x 44 is free.
