The Kaduna Fashion and Art Festival (KAFART) returns for its 6th edition under the theme To Have and to Hold. This year’s theme invites us to reflect on what remains, what is lost, what is reclaimed and how we hold on to one another in times of uncertainty. Through art, fashion and cultural expression, the festival explores questions of identity, place, memory, cultural heritage and family histories across different cultures and generations.
The festival offers a rich programme of activities, including art exhibitions, fashion shows, cultural performances, panel discussions, and more. These activities bring together artists, designers, cultural practitioners and audiences to share ideas, engage with different perspectives, and explore the many ways creative expression shapes our understanding of ourselves and our society.
You are warmly invited to be part of KAFART 2026! Come, experience the works of artists and designers, engage in meaningful conversations, enjoy cultural performances, and connect with a community of people who share an interest in art, fashion and culture.
Date: 22–25 October 2026
Venue: Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Kaduna, Nigeria
Join us as we explore what we hold on to, what we carry forward and what we create together.
