These are some pictures from the past month(s) and most of all of the amazing exhibition “Six Yards” in Arnhem about the african wax prints produced by Vlisco in the Netherlands. If you happen to be in the Netherlands make sure to go and check it out !

“The exhibition Six Yards is a tribute to Vlisco textiles: over a hundred years old, born in Indonesia, designed in the Netherlands, loved in Africa, and desired in the West. These colourful fabrics make their way to fashion shows in Paris, the markets in Ghana, and galleries in London and New York. The exhibition Six Yards focuses on all the relevant angles, from their presence and meaning in the work of artist Yinka Shonibare, to the stories in the oral tradition that have come from the fabrics.”
