Culinary Arts
This year LUJU explores food as both an art medium and an edible eccentricity. The festival will merge high end gastronomy and African design, facilitating collaboration between visual artists and chefs to collectively design, create and serve a tasty visual feast. With themed tasting and pairing zones, interactive activities, as well as a strong focus on sharing artisanal and craft expertise across food and beverages, the Luju Culinary Arts programme will provide immersive, inspiring and, above all, delicious experiences.
The African Fashion Renaissance
Celebrating the transformative power of Fashion! The African Fashion Renaissance starts with introspection. Craft mastery and sustainable materials become mediums for the reclaiming of ancestral stories. Through interweaving these tales of our past, we re-imagine a future. From individual expression to the collective consciousness, fashion has the power to shift and shape future generations.
