The Fashion of Sapeur
Fashion is of course a visual game and visual enjoyment, but what makes people addicted to fashion is not only the appearance, but the most important thing is that it represents a way of life and attitude.
To be stylish is a classic rule in the bible of fashion. In Africa, to be stylish in the Democratic of Congo is to be a Sapeur.
This subculture of well-dressed men and a few women is a sight to behold- and a cultural phenomenon unique to the region.
The Sapeur culture is firmly rooted in both Brazzaville and Kinshasa which are separated by the Congo River.
Life as a Sapeur is nothing but extravagant fashion lifestyle.
The Sapeurs take their name from the acronym for their group:SAPE, meaning is “the society of Tastemakers and Elegant people and “persons who create ambience.”
It can be traced back to the French colonial era in the end of the 19th century.
At that time, some colonists thought it suitable to pay their workers in second hand clothes instead of money.
And then, as an African historian notes in his study , those taste-cultivated workers spurned these second-hand clothes and became fervent connoisseurs and consumers, spending much their hard-working money to acquire the latest fashion from Paris.
Actually, this kind of style can be seen as anti-colonial attitude: these Congolese fashion pioneers get inspired from the Jazz Age and early 20th century European aesthetic at the very begining,and then they made the style all their own. As Tom Downey said on the Wall Street Journal:" these spectacular outfits with striking matching and colorful coordination that few people on the isles of Britannia would have the courage to attempt.

Meet the unique transportation vehicles in Nigeria.
Lagos is Nigeria's most populated and stressful city with gridlock often quadrupling commuting time for residents.
“As part of his poverty alleviation program, then President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo introduced the Keke Napep popularly known as “Keke” to Nigeria on Nov 6, 2002. And since then, it has become one the most patronized means of transportation in various cities in Nigeria. In the situation where many state governments saw the need to restrict the use of Okada (commercial motorcycle), Keke Napep became a safer alternative in transporting people on short distance journeys. You can’t talk about Nigeria without talking about the Kekes, especially Lagos.”
As a further measure to contain the spread of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic within the public transportation pace, the Lagos State government has ordered buses and cabs to maintain 60 percent loading capacity in compliance with the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) social distancing order.

🎥🌍 「For Future For Independence 」
This story is about how Female basket weavers in rural Kenya are empowering themselves and each other through cooperative work, giving them independence from their husbands and weaving a more gender equal future for their children.
It was the dry season of 2017, according to reports, almost in every dry season, weaving becomes an important supplementary income for local families.
In addition to the income from weaving work, the community formed by it has also become an important part of the social life of local women.
“In the group we get to assist one another, advise each other on how to overcome the challenges, and motivate each other to work.” One of a member said.
There are some NGO-run centers provide average trainees in Nigeria as well.
With the aim of improving nutrition within homes and increase the income of women, the center organizes trainees to learn how to weave after several weeks before they can work independently.
Weaving as a traditional family activity and ancient art form has been given more significance today.
✨Weaving is not only a skill for women, it is a valuable income which means greater decision-making power and independence.

🌍「Rethinking the role of women in weaving: for future for independence」
Weaving in most of West Africa, East Africa, DRC, and Ethiopia is primarily done by men, while in Berber North Africa and Madagascar, only by women.
In areas such as Arab North Africa, the Sudans and Nigeria, both men and women weave but they mainly weave on different types of looms.
In West Africa, the oldest archaeological evidence so far of cloth production dates to the 800s and 900s, in present-day Nigeria and Mali respectively.
Based on traditional family structure, weaving was once central domestic activity of non-elite women. Women once wove their own garments as well as the textiles that tailors made into men’s garments. Women also made rugs, blankets, and cushions that were the main furnishings of house or tent.
And all this essential production was intended for family use and occasional ceremonial exchange, and was accomplished at home.
Girls used to learn the techniques of wool washing, combing, and spinning as well as the method of weaving properly from their mother’s side.
Then, with the spread of the commercialization of weaving from town to rural areas, as the appearance of wage-labor by women outside the domestic setting, they began to participate in socialization and business participation.
According to a scholar, the “discourse of weaving can be seen as expression of women towards the public,” furthermore, as Lewis H. Morgan once wrote that “ the fabrics of a people unlock their social history. They speak a language which is silent, but yet more eloquent than the written page.”
To some extent, weaving becomes a way and language for women to express themselves.
✨Today, more and more female entrepreneurs develop this "silent expression" into commercial skills and give them the opportunity to gain financial independence.
