Sisters Blue Lumbar Pillow

About the Item

This pattern is an ode to the women of the African Diaspora, inspired by the textile weavers of Rwanda. Illustrated in watercolor by artist, Samantha Hahn, the women are presented here in striking cameo, face-to-face, in a moment of recognition and community. This pattern was developed as AphroChic was creating the first concept house exhibit ever designed by African Americans on the west coast. As part of the exhibit, AphroChic worked with a women’s collective in Rwanda on a series of baskets for the space. The design was also heavily influenced by the Bring Back Our Girls movement in Nigeria. A percentage of the proceeds from every sale of this pattern will go to supporting the education of women and girls in Rwanda. Each pillow features a double-sided design in a natural cotton/linen blend and finished with a hidden zipper.

  • Dunham Blue Lumbar Pillow
    Located in Napanoch, NY
    Artist and scholar. Pioneer and griot. Katherine Dunham is at once one of the greatest exponents of dance culture in the African Diaspora and one of its most groundbreaking ethnographers. Much as fellow legend, academic and pioneer, Pearl Primus did with dance on the African continent, Dunham explored the Caribbean and North America, cataloging the stories and dances of the people, exploring and sharing the diverse expanse of Black experiences and showing how dance could be a political force. This pattern, created in collaboration with Kim Johnson Studios, celebrates that shining legacy with a colorful play of florals and dancers. Cast in dynamic and exuberant postures, our watercolor dancers...
