Africa’s extraordinarily abundant and excellent craft-making traditions animate the aesthetic lives and emotional resilience of refugee artisans in Worcester who originally came to the city from African nations. African craft accomplishments include work in wood, metal, house architecture, sculpture, basketry, textiles, ritual costumes, body decoration, and hairstyle art. These are often connected to brilliant dance and musical worlds.
