Ann-Aniedi Asikpo Studio offers five connected services all rooted in deep cultural knowledge of African heritage textiles and underpinned by MA-level multimedia PR expertise and MCIPR professional standards.
1. Heritage Garment Design and Exhibition
Handmade garments in Ankara, Adire, Aso-oke, and other African heritage fabrics, designed for exhibition and cultural education.
Each garment is made with full cultural knowledge of the textile it is created from. Every garment is displayed at exhibitions with a printed cultural story panel giving visitors the fabric’s name, origin community, cultural meaning, and what its patterns communicate.
This service includes:
— Design and construction of heritage fabric garments for exhibition
— Cultural story panels for each garment (A2 printed, suitable for gallery display)
— Exhibition setup and booth design
— Garment display consultation for cultural institutions and events
Who this is for:
Cultural events, heritage exhibitions, diversity and inclusion programmes, gallery commissions, and community showcases.
2. Cultural Storytelling and Multimedia Content
Strategic cultural content that decodes African heritage textiles for specific audiences written, visual, and digital.
This service draws on Ann-Aniedi’s MA in Multimedia Public Relations and her professional experience in PR communications across Nigeria and the UK. Content is produced with the accuracy and cultural specificity that African heritage deserves, and the strategic clarity that modern communications requires.
This service includes:
— Blog posts, articles, and long-form cultural content
— Social media content strategy and production (#DecodeAfrica)
— Substack newsletter content (The Decoder — every Wednesday)
— Multimedia PR campaigns for cultural organisations
— Cultural brand storytelling for African heritage textile brands
Who this is for:
Cultural organisations, museums, galleries, fashion brands, heritage bodies, and communications teams.
3. Community Education Workshops and Talks
Hands-on community workshops and public talks introducing audiences to Africa’s textile heritage delivered across the North East of England and nationally.
Workshops are designed for participants with no prior knowledge of African heritage textiles. Participants handle real fabric samples Ankara, Adire, Kente, Aso-oke, Bogolan, Shweshwe, and others and leave with specific, accurate, lasting cultural knowledge.
This service includes:
— Community workshops (60–90 minutes, 10–20 participants)
— Public talks and panel contributions on African textile heritage
— School and university educational visits
— Cultural heritage sessions for community organisations and diaspora groups
— Cloth Club and textile circle contributions for galleries and community spaces
Who this is for:

4. Multimedia PR Strategy and Consultancy
Strategic public relations support for organisations wanting to communicate authentically, accurately, and effectively about African heritage and culture.
All communications work is grounded in MCIPR professional standards and material honesty. In the era of the UK Anti-Greenwashing Rule and Sustainability Disclosure Requirements, accurate cultural communication is not just an ethical choice. It is a legal and reputational necessity.
This service includes:
— Communications strategy for cultural organisations
— African heritage content audit and accuracy review
— Cultural credit frameworks for brands and retailers
— Media pitch and press release support
— Digital campaign strategy and delivery
Who this is for:
Brands, retailers, cultural organisations, and communications teams engaging with African heritage textile culture.
5. African Heritage Textile Consultancy
Expert consultancy on specific African heritage fabrics — their origins, cultural meanings, appropriate contexts, and accurate representation.
This service includes:
— Fabric-specific cultural briefings (Ankara, Adire, Kente, Aso-oke, Bogolan, and others)
— Exhibition curation support and cultural story panel writing
— Cultural accuracy review for fashion collections, exhibitions, and publications
— African heritage textile research and documentation
