Artisan Stories
The BananArt of Ugandan Artisan Olivia Namala
At the heart of Olivia's work lies a centuries-old tradition deeply rooted in Ugandan culture. For generations, banana fibre has been utilised by local artisans for its versatility and eco-friendly properties. Harvested from the stems of banana plants, this natural fibre undergoes a meticulous process of extraction and treatment before it's transformed into exquisite works of art.
