Kofi Setordji: ADANNVOR - CREATIVE TEXTILE

The textiles shown in the exhibition have been produced by the Ghanaian artist Kofi Setordji in collaboration with Kente - master weavers from different regions and weaving cultures of Ghana.

The [applied] Foreign Affairs Lab of the University of Applied Arts Vienna has dealt with possible ways of displaying Kente for the exhibition. Following the exhibition in Krems-Stein, the work will be continued in Ghana: Exhibition architectures are being developed for the new textile museum of the Nubuke Foundation in Wa, whose artistic director is Kofi Setordji.
