In 2014, as part of the Atelier de Textile Design à Abomey in Benin, Africa, I had the privilege of collaborating closely with traditional weavers in the region. Our goal was to explore their profound textile knowledge—particularly the ancestral know-how passed down through generations of artisans. For the weavers, the workshop became a space to critically reflect on their creative agency and reimagine their role within the evolving landscape of textile production.
The outcomes of these collaborative experiments were showcased at the 11th Dakar Biennale (Dak’Art 2014) in Senegal.
