30. Wrapped in Pride - the Ewe people

Wrapped in Pride;
The Ewe People of Ghana


The Inspiration:


The Ewe people are one of Ghana’s main ethnic groups located in the southeast region of Ghana, the Volta Region in southern Togo and western Benin. They speak the Ewe language, and they are related to other speakers of Gbe languages such as the Fon and the Aja of Togo and Benin.



They are traditionally weavers and produce Kente - some of the most well-known and recognizable cloth patterns in Africa.
