WeTransfer's Featured Artist programme

Design Indaba has partnered with WeTransfer in its Featured Artists programme.

Each month Design Indaba curates or designs a wallpaper for WeTransfer's Featured Artists programme. An artist featured on designindaba.com will spotlight as a wallpaper on the cloud-based file exchange platform during the course of the month, linking to the story about their work on designindaba.com.

In addition we'll be selecting one of our favourite artists already featured in the WeTransfer programme and sharing their story and work on our platform.

In April 2015 we launched with a wallpaper featuring a Design Indaba Emerging Creative, fashion designer Lukhanyo Mdingi. Read our article about his fashion collection Macramé below.
