Thursday, April 2, 5–7 p.m.
Laporte Family Creativity Lab, Princeton University Art Museum
The Student Advisory Board of the Princeton University Art Museum and the Princeton African Students Association invite you to a hands-on textile workshop in advance of the Sankofa 2026 Fashion Show. Join us in the Art Museum’s Creativity Lab (located near the east entrance) to explore fabric, texture, and design through collage. Participants will create wearable or functional pieces—such as tote bags or upcycled denim—using a range of African and diasporic textiles inspired by the designers featured in this year’s show.
Drawing on themes of Sankofa—reflection, redefining oneself, and creative expression—this workshop offers a space to experiment with materials, engage with artistic traditions, and build excitement for the runway event. Participants are encouraged to bring their own denim garments or thrifted items to customize.
Selected pieces may be worn or showcased at the Sankofa 2026 Fashion Show on Saturday, April 11, at 7 p.m. in the Art Museum’s Grand Hall.
This event is free and open to all PU students regardless of identity. All materials will be provided while supplies last.
Cosponsored by the African Students Association Sankofa Board and the Student Advisory Board of the Princeton University Art Museum.
