In my first Blogpost I highlighted some large-scale events from around the world.
These events are more or less connected to the western world or the way of living there.
In the next steps I would like to find out if there are some similar events on other continents, that can highlight the change in culture and design through its appearance.
Possible Events for Africa:
1. African Football Championship (Africa Cup of Nations – AFCON)
2. FESTAC – Festival of African Arts and Culture
3. Durban International Film Festival (DIFF)
4. Cape Town International Jazz Festival
5. Lake of Stars Festival (Malawi)
6. Marathon des Sables, Sahara
7. Chale Wote Street Art Festival (Ghana)
8. AFRIMA – All Africa Music Awards
9. Nile Valley International Film Festival (Egypt)
10. Afrochella (Ghana)
The next step will be about getting to know more about these events and if they could help to examine the interactions between social trends and the design language on the African continent.
