"N’etiti Akara" Art Print
N’etiti Akara, means “Between the Symbols” or “Between the Marks,” in Igbo.
The work draws inspiration from ukara cloth, an indigo-dyed textile associated with the Ekpe society of southeastern Nigeria and western Cameroon. Inscribed with Nsibidi symbols, ukara transforms cloth into a coded surface carrying personal, communal, and spiritual significance while functioning as a metaphor for protection, and guarded knowledge.
