Refugee Wall Hanging | Burundian Refugee Collection (dark gray) | Ikiba Design
Size: 16” x 3” (top diameter x height off the wall)
Materials: Star grass, papyrus, recycled food rations bags
Our 2018 feature collection is produced by Burundian refugee artisans in the Mtendeli refugee camp in the northwest of Tanzania through a collaboration with MADE51, the international refugee-made product brand by UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency) . For the products of the Refugee Collection, sacks in which refugees receive their monthly food rations are recycled and woven into the grasses which are harvested in and around the camp. The signature “Ikiba” design of this Wall Hanging stems from the Burundian word “Ikibano”, symbolizing the refugee population as a "Community" with a shared background & determination of working together to overcome the struggles in the camp.
