This kanga was made in Kenya from machine printed cotton in the late 1980s. The design features a map of Africa. Kangas are bought in pairs and worn as an outfit with one wrapped as a skirt and one as a top, shawl or headcovering. They usually feature a slogan which is used to make a statement, whether personal or political. The slogan on this kanga translates as 'Welcome guest'. This design became the unofficial kanga of the 1987 All Africa Games. Collected as part of the Fashioning Africa project.
