In an age where many buy cloths based on what is available in shops and price, local fashion designers are often left behind due to lack of capacity to mass-produce their creations.
Those who are fans of African films, especially those from Nigeria, might have noticed that often it’s the same actors who appear in almost all films. The same can be seen in Hollywood, where having a Will Smith or Angelina Joly is a near-guarantee of box office success.
The week-long Pan-African Dance Festival (FESPAD) has come to a close, having offered an interesting mix of performances, discussions on the creative arts, a dance competition as well as numerous workshops.
