Summary: | From the runway in Lagos and music festivals in Casablanca or Nairobi, to the "image makers" of Marrakech and the influencers of Dakar or Accra, a new generation of African fashion designers, photographers, bloggers, and hair and makeup artists are redefining the aesthetic contours of the continent. Audacious, humorous, disruptive, and innovative are the bywords of these young creatives who, while drawing upon and revalorizing their heritage, offer an ultra-contemporary perspective on fashion today. A creative revolution is spreading in an extension of continental revindication through cultural reappropriation and the invention of a visual language. Un panorama de la création africaine au début du XXIe siècle : mode, musique, images makers, influenceurs, photographes, bloggers, hair et et make-up artistes. Ils participent tous à la redéfinition des contours esthétiques du continent en puisant dans leur héritage pour en proposer une approche hyper contemporaine. |
