AFEVO: Home Handweave of the Ewe is a research focused on the textile collection of the Blakhud Museum of Klikor (Ghana). Performed by many traditional weavers of Klikor, who decided to donate samples of their own cloth to the Museum. Exactly 100 pieces were listed, simply following the number of their own digital photo. Cloth name, weaver’s name, year of production, meaning and history were also recorded.The VIRTUAL-STITCH TOUR gives a survey of the cloths as they are stitched together. That’s indeed the real target of any kente weaving, as the rhythm of the woven strips is fully displayed only when Single becomes Pattern, a suggestion to recognise links between weaving, music, dance and (obviously) religion in Ewe culture.
