The Thousand Meetings
In July of 2009, the research team of the Cultural Heritage Department, National Museums of Kenya under the direction of Dr. Issak Hussein and with support from the Royal Netherlands Embassy, Webster University, Haria Stamp Shop, The Aga Khan Trust for Culture and The British Museum, began collecting stories on the kanga cloth.
This blog will provide space to document the research, identify highlights of the process and encourage viewers to add their own stories.
