Threads of Unity

A Night of Culture, Elegance, and Prestige

Cornell’s first-ever African MET Gala is here! Threads of Unity is not just an event—it’s a celebration of heritage, style, and the unbreakable bond that connects us all. Inspired by the vibrant cultures of Africa, this night will showcase the richness of our traditions through fashion, music, and storytelling.

From exquisite Ankara prints to regal Agbada and Kente, step into a night where every thread tells a story. The evening will feature breathtaking fashion, live performances, and an atmosphere of pure opulence—all woven together in the spirit of unity.

Igwe Bu Ike – Together, We Are Strength

Just as the Asoebi symbolizes community in Nigerian culture, this gala is about coming together as one. Whether you’re rocking your best Isi Agu, George wrapper, Adire, or Dashiki, come prepared to slay with confidence and style.

Expect jaw-dropping looks, unforgettable moments, and a celebration of African excellence like never before!
