The Horn Call

28 November. Palazzo Permanens. Three rooms, running at once, until 05:00 AM.

A runway. A live ceremony. A five-DJ lineup with live saxophone. Visuals running all night. A full art exhibition. Two painters working the room as it happens. This isn't a party with a fashion segment bolted on, it's all of it, at the same time, all night.

showcase

The runway is anchored by two designers we picked ourselves, most of their work built on sustainable practice, alongside a wider lineup of independent designers, some West African, some pure streetwear, each with a distinct style. Midway through, there's a short choreography piece built around the Agojie, the women soldiers of Dahomey. Then the runway folds straight into the party. No walking off, no dead air.

sound

Five sets, one thread. Afrobeats into Afro-house into Amapiano, and it doesn't let up. DJ Blackcell plays with Joshtwista on saxophone. DJ Tochii, DJ Peksa, and DJ Entyce round out the night.

Above the floor, our Visuals team runs projections all night, curated and edited from the African archive.

rooms

The Main Hall carries the runway, the DJs, the projections, and live painting, all at once. Lulu, a Hungarian artist, and Frederick, from the US, are painting in there while the floor moves around them.

The Mirrored Gallery holds a full exhibition, with artists from Hungary, Serbia, Brazil, and beyond, its own room, its own pace, worth stepping into even mid-party.

The Dome Lounge sits under the palace's golden dome, with leather seats waiting when you want five minutes off the floor.

Three rooms, one ticket. You don't have to choose which part of the night to catch.
