Tapestries
A new collaboration between Chimurenga and Ninevites
Pan African arts and politics platform Chimurenga and African tapestries designer Ninevites are proud to announce a bold new collaboration that weaves radical publishing with contemporary design.
This partnership marks the debut of a limited-edition series of handwoven wool tapestries, translating iconic Chimurenga covers into tactile, large-scale works of art.
Designed and crafted by The Ninevites, a studio known for its striking approach to African minimalism and traditional weaving techniques, the collection reimagines covers of Chimurenga’s publications including:
- Chimurenga Chronic: Imagi-Nation Nwar
- Chimurenga Magazine - 08: We’re All Nigerian!
- Chimurenga Magazine - 05: Head/Body (& Tools)/Corpses
These tapestries are woven from wool and mohair, hand-dyed and produced in limited quantities through pre-order. The collection invites collectors, readers, and dreamers to hold and hang these radical texts in new ways.
