At KQ's Creative Talks Africa sessions hosted at Design Hub Kampala, we highlight professional East African Culture & Art influencers who are trailblazing within the creative industry to share their ideas, thoughts and experiences with a curious audience intentional about learning and networking.

These talks are supported by the British Council#EastAfricaArts program and the Culture At Work Program by Interarts Foundation + European Union in Uganda

During this month's Creative Talks Africa session we talk about the intersection between Fashion & Art. In this talk, we will host two emerging Ugandan based fashion designers who are creating fashion designs inspired by artistic forms.
