FACE.A-J is a project collective that showcases the culture and creativity from Africa and Japan, including an interactive on-schedule fashion presentation during Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo, panel discussions, and pop-ups. Fashion, Art, and Culture transcend politics and social conflicts, and inequalities. Through Fashion, Art, and Culture, FACE.A-J aims to create a platform that shows the true face of Africa and Japan, to bridge the gap between both creative markets, change misconceptions, and foster economic and cultural development.
