Welcome to Alkebulan Makers Collective – a proudly African-owned retail and creative space located in Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne. Here, we honour heritage, creativity, and innovation through the work of talented African and Afro-diasporic artisans, designers, and artists.
Our collective of makers and creatives represents a fusion of traditional African craftsmanship and contemporary expression. From handcrafted jewellery and home décor to striking charcoal portraits and vibrant acrylic paintings, every piece tells a story rooted in identity, community, and culture.
