フィラデルフィア美術館のインスタグラム(philamuseum) - 12月27日 12時35分

Today is the first day of #Kwanzaa, a weeklong celebration in North America and other nations of the West African diaspora. This secular holiday is based on seven principles that encompass notions of community, creativity, purpose, and self-determination. The name of the tradition is derived from the phrase meaning “first fruits of the harvest” in Swahili. An important symbol of this holiday is the mkeka, a decorative mat that serves as the foundation for ceremonial objects and representations. We’ve noticed that many of the mkekas used in #Kwanza look strikingly similar to some of the woven textiles in the Museum’s collection. Heri za Kwanzaa! Happy Kwanzaa!
