THE MHENGA SERIES (Volume I)

For generations, the kanga has been a medium through which Swahili women have challenged the status quo. A colourful, non-verbal language used to communicate everything from love and celebration to warning, protest and everything in between.

For Volume I of the Mhenga Series, we sample the Kanga and reimagine it as the Mhenga Lampshade.

An ode to the Swahili women elders who came before us.
