Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity explores both the art and symbolism of kente cloth in Ghana and its expression of identity in African American communities, evoking and celebrating a shared cultural heritage. Curated by Doran H. Ross of the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, the exhibition uses contemporary examples of kente, objects incorporating its patterns, installations, and photographs to place the cloth in its cultural contexts.
This exhibition has been made possible through NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
It is brought to you by Mid America Arts Alliance.
This version of Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity was developed by the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles, California, based on an earlier exhibition co-organized with the Newark Museum, Newark, New Jersey.
