This is a pair of kangas from Kenya, East Africa, made from machine-printed cotton in the 1980s. The design features indigo spots and a green and yellow feather-like motif. 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 to 'Not scared of facing a challenge'. Collected as part of the Fashioning Africa project.
