#FutureTrends is a look into a utopian future where fashion and architecture from East Africa combine to create new desires. #FutureTrends showcases work from emerging urban cultures using fashion and styling to express new identities. Playing with gender, sexuality and new forms of social exchange, a future image of society is presented.

A collaboration between creative consultants Pidgin Perfect (Glasgow), curators 2ManySiblings (Nairobi), Ethiopian Institute of Architecture Building & Construction (Addis) and The Africa Centre (London). The project is a new Arts new Audiences (nAnA) grantee through the 'British Council’s East Africa Arts' programme.

Programme includes: Visual art, film screening, industry talk, creative workshop, music.
