Description

The Fibonacci pattern can be seen in older kente weavings, as pointed out by scholar and spiritualist Kwame Adapa. And it appears elsewhere in Africa–most famously in the Egyptian temple of Karnak. Leonardo Fibonacci himself was the first to publish on it; and he was educated in North Africa. So in honor of African math heritage, and math fans everywhere of all identities, we are proud to bring back this heritage algorithm in the form of this beautiful hand-woven scarf.

AfroFuture Fashions

Adinkra are traditional symbols from Ghana. We work in schools to help children learn math and computing through African culture using our adinkra simulations. We use those same simulations with a laser cutter (and some old school embroidery shops) to make these cool adinkra shirts. Thanks for your support!

The sankofa (“san-KOH-fa”) shows a bird facing backwards. It means “you can always go back to retrieve a forgotten tradition”.
The gye nyame (“gee-NAH-may”) shows a fist holding two spirals. The fist means “power”. The spirals symbolize the curve of growing things. It means “no one except God has the power of life”.
We buy African print cloth locally in Kumasi, use our own laser cutters for the symbols, and hire local embroidery artisans to get them onto the shirts.
