About the work

Heritage Threads is a unique artistic fabric that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Cape Verde. The piece features a hand-painted cavaquinho, a traditional instrument deeply rooted in Cape Vendean music, created using acrylic paint. The cavaquinho is further adorned with embroidery using embroidery threads and decorated with beads, creating a harmonious blend of textures and colors that pay tribute to local tradition and artistry. The fabric, like others in the collection, is inspired by traditional African batiks, reflecting the continent's artistic roots and influences
