Beaded Porcupine from Capetown

Indigo Arts' Philadelphia gallery space will be closed during the month of April as I move upstairs to a new space on the fourth floor of the Crane Building. I hope to be up and running again in May, on a "by appointment or by chance" basis. Meanwhile, the Indigo Arts online gallery will be operating as usual, though shipments may be delayed a bit. Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the mean time.

Thanks,

Tony

Women of the MonkeyBiz Project

Artist Mathapelo Ngaka in Santa Fe, July 2006.

The 180 women currently participating in the project are producing a variety of one-of-a-kind dolls and bags. In designing and creating these artworks, the women draw on and renew the rich artistic traditions of their several ethnic groups - Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele, Sotho and others. In thse works the bead artists of the Cape townships are creating a new, often humorous and sometimes quite startling synthesis of folk traditions.
