*KikoRomeo x Peter & Black *

Kenya-Sudan Creative Collabo
_Aug 2021_

This collaboration came about when Ann McCreath of KikoRomeo had the immense privilege of mentoring designers in Khartoum under the #ModaConnects program. She met the Peter & Black founder *** there.

Sudanese creatives just want to focus on their futures and have an enabling environment to express themselves freely and connect to others globally.

Sudan is filled with immense knowledge and artistry which is little known globally. Our collabo is an informal, impromptu attempt to shine a light on the positivity amongst creatives in Sudan to embrace new worlds. We all pray that this will soon be possible for many more people.

For those who have never visited, daily life connecting with other countries is difficult, as international credit cards don’t work, you can’t pay for things online (even with a VPN it's difficult) you can’t access some of the most well-known global websites due to the US embargo

However the people are amongst the most hospitable in the world, and take care of you beyond what you can imagine.

We just pray for the revolution to succeed soon so that more and more global creatives can interact with Sudanese creatives in Sudan. We can do so much together.
