Help Power Creative Chaos Across Six Cities
Back creators, ideas and new possibilities across Accra, Kumasi, Lagos, Abuja, Kigali and Nairobi.
Creative Chaos: The Exchange is bringing creators, artists, writers, founders, designers and community builders together across six cities.
We are raising $50,000 to support the tour, widen creator participation and bring each city experience to life.
Creativity Should Not Wait for Permission
Across the world, talented creators struggle to access the spaces, resources, relationships and opportunities that could move their work forward.
Creative Chaos creates a different kind of room.
