Vlisco&co X Nigeria 3rd Edition - A Beautiful Struggle, 2019
A Beautiful Struggle is the third edition of Vlisco&co in Nigeria.
It was based on a series of research in Lagos that aimed to understand the whole picture of the city and all its layers.
Vlisco&co met up with Dafe Oboro, who was born and raised in Ajegunle - a neighborhood known for its danger but which according to Dafe, has more good stories to tell than bad.
That encounter was the birth of the project, resulting in a short film by Dafe Oboro, two fashion collections by Abiola Olusola and Papa Oyeyemi, and two photo series by Kadara Enyeasi and Louis Philippe de Gagoue.
All research explorations were presented during a screening and a panel discussion in Lagos on the 18th of July, 2019
Panelists:
Dafe Oboro, Papa Oyeyemi, Abiola Olusola, Tushar Hathiramani
