Event: Korea – Nigeria Joint Project for Traditional Clothing Design 

Organized by: Korean Cultural Centre Nigeria

Date: November 27 ~ December 02, 2020

Venue: Retro Africa Gallery, Asokoro Abuja

To mark the 10 years anniversary of the establishment of Korean Cultural Centre in Nigeria, the Centre has organized a joint traditional clothing design project.  Nigerian designers and tailors used Ankara fabric to make Korean Hanbok which were showcased in an online exhibition in July this year.  Later, Korean Hanbok designers made Hanbok with Nigerian Ankara materials and also made Nigerian traditional attires with Korean fabric. They made a set of Hanbok with Ankara fabric for adults (men and women), another for children and made one set each of  three different Nigerian attires with Korean fabric representing the main Nigerian tribes (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba). Between November 27 ~ December 02 at Retro Africa Gallery in Asokoro Abuja, the dresses will be on showcase.
