Africa is powerhouse of creativity and with more than 2,000 languages spoken on the continent and the youngest population by median age on the planet, it has an impressive standing in the world of fashion, culture and art.

Guzangs is a cultural media company that promotes African creativity through writing, conventions and commercial partnerships. The most visible result of the work of the organisation is the website, which offers sections such as Material Literacy, a way of exploring the textiles of the continent by region and cloth, and African Fashion and Designers.

Guzangs is also a partner to the United Nations, The Costume Institute and other influential bodies, and it offers thought-provoking writing such as this piece that uses léppi de Guinée as a way to illustrate the lack of acknowledgement of a maker, or permission from makers when it comes to AI machine learning and selling intellectual property.
