(Photo: Danny Perez)") ## Due to AXS's versatile, minimalist design, Brooklyn Museum was able to utilize the cases in non-traditional ways, incorporating them into the unique architecture of the space to intuitively guide visitors through the narrative of the exhibition. - ![Rectangular wood crate in front of wall with platforms](https://info.gaylord.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AXS_Testimonial/BrooklynInstall4.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=BrooklynInstall4.jpg) - ![Installation view, Africa Fashion, Brooklyn Museum, June 23, 2023-October 22, 2023.

Organized thematically, this multisensory experience features immersive displays of haute couture and ready-to-wear apparel, as well as photographs, literature, sketches, music, film and catwalk footage, textiles, and jewelry. More than forty designers and artists from twenty African countries are represented, from the vanguards who first gained worldwide attention, such as Kofi Ansah (Ghana) and Shade Thomas-Fahm (Nigeria), to the newest generation of cutting-edge creatives, such as Thebe Magugu (South Africa) and Gouled Ahmed (Djibouti). Many of their works are on view for the first time in the United States.
