Signed Cultural Batik Cotton Wall Hanging from Ghana, "Masquerade in the Shrine"

Coming from a family of artists, Oluwayemisi Adeniran carries on her family tradition by creating works of batik art. Working from Ghana, she presents this wall hanging, which depicts a masquerade during the Yoruba Obalufon festival, where people dress as spirits and emerge from local shrines to give prophecies. Adeniran draws with a wax resist on cotton cloth before applying colorful dyes.
