"... African by Design presents works of traditional and contemporary African
craft, including furniture, pottery, basketry, textiles, jewelry, clothing, weapons, currency and more. All the
objects are part of the layered cultural stories and histories found across the continent of Africa. Over 100
objects will be on view, with many of the works drawn from Mingei’s permanent collection, and others from
private collections. African by Design showcases objects and the stories behind them while also revealing
the design elements and decisions that make them special everyday objects..."
