Our Mission
The Loom Cluster (LC) association was founded as an independent non-profit entity in 2017. The organisation underwent a reorganisation in 2022, and now Loom Foundation is the legally recognised entity. The goal of Loom foundation is to provide a dedicated platform that addresses the intersection of representation and aesthetics within textile and fashion studies with a focus on the African continent.
Vision
Our vision is to document and disseminate narratives regarding textiles and dress from the African continent and its global diaspora through the creation of a multidisciplinary research hub.
