Joy from Africa to the World is a beautiful and powerful message that underscores the Christmas theme at the V&A Waterfront!
A visit will reveal a stunningly creative approach that showcases handcrafted work by communities locally and throughout the continent. The ‘Joy from Africa to the World’ initiative is an example of a caring and responsible ethos and symbolises the magic that happens when co-creating with the art, craft and design community.
