Lauren-Loïs Duah “Obroni Wa'awu” “Cross-Continental Clothescapes” Venice International Architecture Biennale
Duah, Cross-Continental Clothescapes In the Ghanaian Twi language, “Obroni Wa'awu” refers to second-hand clothing.
But the literal translation is “someone died to leave these objects.”
The textile industry is an essential vector in the world of work, migration and supply chain economies, with transcontinental consequences.
Lauren-Loïs Duah's tapestry project involves untying the threads in the seams of clothing in supply chains by showing how consumers in the West have excluded themselves from production sites that facilitate their insatiable consumption.
