About
We are building a digital system that turns African textiles into datasets and assets for use in 3D design, AI, and virtual fashion.
Impact
This project preserves African textile traditions by translating them into digital formats for fashion, gaming, and immersive environments building a structured archive of textiles like Adire, Kente, and many others to ensure they are not lost.
Progress
We have delivered two hybrid exhibitions (2024 & 2025) across physical and virtual platforms. We have hosted 20+ workshops, training emerging digital creators. The platform continues to grow through strong partnerships and global visibility.
Team
ADF knows how to run creative events and workshops and has already done it before. We mix fashion, technology, and culture in a unique way. We work with experts to build digital experiences. We understand the community and what African creators need.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
