The document discusses the concept and process of draping African cloth. It describes how Africans use bright colors and artwork on cloth to denote age, marital status, and identity. The draping can take on different forms depending on how the layers are arranged but are typically held in place by a central tie. The inspiration for the concept comes from the work of British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, who explores themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and globalization.

African Cloth
Africans are famous for using lots of

important they use bright colors and
make artwork of the cloth on their
head; different twists define different
age and marital status, it is used to
describe who you are, for protection,
expression, made from multiple
layers.The concept is driven by the
FUNCTION of that cloth; it's so FREE
to the point that every time you drape
it down it gives you a DIFFERENT
FORMS with various set of layers(
applied on the ceilings), more
important is what holds it still is the
TIE which is the focal point in the
