“The individual is reinvention, incessantly, in an uncertain movement; they is movement of infinitude.“
Here is an excerpt from Manifesto 027 on creativity published by cahiers manufactoriel. These words serve as a reminder to passersby of the phenomena occurring within us at every moment, and the importance of introspection, in order to direct one’s intentions in the most righteous manner possible.
The tote bags are crafted in Togo, West Africa, using the traditional fabric known as gangan. Made from natural cotton fibers, gangan is commonly employed for natural dyeing processes.
Expressing our thoughts on this noble fabric is a particular publication procedure to which we pay close attention. Similar to paper, the fabric becomes a medium through which we manifest our artistic practice, serving as a prism providing access to a wealth of knowledge content.
Indeed, through textile printing, we aim to highlight a form of writing in motion. We make our writings mobile, both through the kinetics of the medium and its functionality: as the bag is inherently a transportation object.
This entails updating the use of this traditional fabric and transforming it into a medium for artistic publications akin to an artist’s book. Here, the sewn object becomes a conceptual art piece, contributing to transport from time to time, a piece of tangible imagination. -Publisher
