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.
