ASSOCIATION

3. PROMOTING MISSION

Afrodyssée is a non-profit association which brings together around thirty volunteer collaborators, each of whom works in their field of expertise to support and promote African creation. Through its annual event, but also through residencies in Africa and curation missions, the Afrodyssée Association intends to improve knowledge of African cultures and aesthetics and contribute to increasing the influence of contemporary African design. Afrodyssée specializes in two areas of creation in particular: fashion and crafts.

4. SELECTION & ETHICS

Afrodyssée rigorously selects its designers based on four priority criteria:

1. The guarantee of respectful working conditions in the production of goods.

2. Respect for the environment and sustainability in production choices.

3. Highlighting the participation of women in the production chain and ensuring equal rights in their remuneration and supervision.

4. The conservation and perpetuation of unique and traditional know-how in the production of goods.
