Adinkra is a quilted wallhanging that speaks in layers of cloth and cultural inheritance. Framed like a window or doorway, it invites the viewer to look inward, where fragments of Black life, pattern, and symbol are held together by care and intention. Each square functions as a vignette—courage, strength, good fortune, patience and the supremacy of God while the bold sashing asserts structure and resilience. Scraps and fragments are from garments made, moments lived, histories carried on the body.
The work honors quilting as a collective, intergenerational practice. This is a quilt that insists on presence. It acknowledges the labor of Black hands, often uncredited, often erased, and elevates quilting as a form of visual language, cultural sovereignty. and intentional making.
Ankara strip frame and sashing. Turquoise print cotton backing. The symbols used here represent good fortune, courage, humility and strength, patience and tolerance and in the center is the Gye Nyame which means the supremacy of God. Approx 46"x46" Ready to Hang
