MetaSkillz Contest 2025 reminded us why we started UndaMeta in the first place. We are deeply grateful to every designer, judge, partner, and community member who took part. Your creativity, commitment, and belief in African surface pattern design made this journey meaningful, and we thank you for walking it with us.
Emerging fabric design with Afrofuturism or African Futurism calls for deep reflection and imagination. Afrofuturism fuses Black culture, science fiction, and fantasy through a diasporic lens, while African Futurism draws from the continent’s own histories and mythologies. Designers can explore themes of technology, tradition, and myth—reinterpreting symbols like Kente or Adire with futuristic motifs inspired by cosmic forms or deities like Mami Wata. The goal is to tell a story through pattern—a vision of African identity that bridges heritage and the future.
Styled in African Print explores the evolving world of African interior textiles—celebrating bold prints, cultural storytelling, and modern home styling.

We explore how fashion shapes personal and collective identities, blending tradition and modernity. Highlights fashion as a visual language of belonging, status, resistance, and the effects of globalization on cultural expression.
At UndaMeta, we believe that African textiles are more than just fabric; they are stories, culture and identity woven into every thread. That’s why we are launching a movement that celebrates the brilliance of African design and craftsmanship; Be MetaOrdinary.
