Description

We have also included a traditional kente pattern scarf for folks who want to go old school. You might notice a big price difference. The traditional patterns require a lot of time switching colors. We want to make sure that the time a weaver puts into a work is proportionate to their pay. Just because something is a “labor of love” does not mean it should be labor for cheap.

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.
