AFRICANSQUARE

The chic colors and patterns of Uganda make this basket unique. Raffia was wrapped around aquatic plants, and everything was knitted by hand. It is a technique that has been passed down from mother to daughter from generation to generation. In Uganda, it is used for transporting cereals, fruits, mainly food. With a loop, you can hang it on the wall and use it as a wall deco basket as an interior decoration. The colorful basket is due to the modern change in design. The pattern of the basket has no particular meaning, but is a design that was born from various daily challenges by researching the knitting method technically, and is thought of by a local woman. This basket production organization is led by people with disabilities, single mothers, and women. The woman who presides over the event also has a disability herself, and based on her own experience, she is actively working to increase opportunities for people in vulnerable social positions to work and earn income.
