The Value Chain
From raw material to market. How value moves through African fashion, art and design.
Where does the money go? The Value Chain follows the work from raw material to market. Cotton travels from West African fields to the cut-and-sew floors, artworks from studio to auction, objects from workshop to retail. We report on the funding, production and distribution decisions that determine whether a creative economy compounds or leaks. Investigations and explainers, ongoing.
