Mud Cloth Abstracts
Inspired by Bogolanfini (bogo ~ earth/mud… lan ~ with/by means of… fini ~ cloth) or mud cloth, is a traditional textile of the Bamana (Bambara) people of West Africa.
Traditionally, each geometric or abstracted flora/fauna motif is part of a complex symbolic language that communicates traditional narratives that have been handed down through generations. Each motif has a specific meaning and each completed cloth tells a unique story that can be deciphered from the motifs and symbols used in its construction.
AfriMod expanded, modified and redesigned these traditional Bogolanfini motifs to create abstracted patterns and designs for contemporary living.
