ASMALLWORLD is delighted to offer discounted access to AfriKin Fashion: Resistance on the Runway at the Scott Galvin Community Centre, an extraordinary grand finale that closes AfriKin Art Fair 2025 in unforgettable style.

The experience includes an open bar and AfriKin Tapas, creating the perfect setting for an evening of conversation, culture, and celebration.

Produced by acclaimed Senegalese designer Rama Diaw, this transcendent evening pays homage to the legendary heroines of Nder, whose act of defiance in 1820 became a symbol of dignity and freedom. Their spirit ignites the runway as visionary designers from across Africa and the diaspora reinterpret their legacy through striking contemporary fashion.

Guests will be immersed in an atmosphere of artistry and reverence, where ancestral silhouettes meet avant-garde statements, and garments become vessels of history and identity. Each collection celebrates resilience, cultural pride, and the power of creative expression to inspire change.

More than a fashion show, Resistance on the Runway is a moment of transformation, where fashion becomes resistance, beauty becomes power, and legacy becomes style.

AfriKin Art Fair is more than an exhibition; it is a cultural phenomenon and an unmissable experience that redefines the global art conversation through the lens of Africa and its diaspora. Each edition curates an exceptional programme of exhibitions, performances, and dialogues that offer a profound exploration of contemporary artistic expression.

The Opening Night has become a marquee social event during Miami Art Week, where the city’s cultural elite, international art patrons, and distinguished guests gather for an unforgettable evening.
