Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity — an exhibition at the Chippewa Valley Museum this winter — explores the art of making kente, its symbolism in the cultures of Africa, and its expression of identity in African American communities. The brightly colored, geometrically patterned cloth called kente, made by the Asante peoples of Ghana and the Ewe peoples of Ghana and Togo, is the best known of all African textiles.
