Our threaded artworks are more than just pieces of fabric – they represent a rich tradition passed down through generations within a clan in Ghana 🇬🇭. Meticulously woven silk threads come together to form vibrant images, each telling a unique story. It’s a process that demands seven days of dedicated work from five skilled artisans, resulting in truly mesmerizing pieces that captivate the eye and touch the soul.
The intricately woven artworks showcased here are more than just decorations – they’re a symbol of resilience, tradition, and hope. Each purchase helps us financially empower mothers in Ghana, providing them with opportunities to support their families and challenge harmful misconceptions about autism.
Introducing these artworks into Western markets has been a passion project intertwined with the mission of By Autistic. We’re dedicated to combating the harmful stigma surrounding autism and neurodivergent individuals, particularly in communities where they are often misunderstood or stigmatized.
By supporting our initiative, you’re not only acquiring beautiful pieces of art but also contributing to a larger cause. Minting Love NFT’s from ByAutistic (https://fair.xyz/c/ftabta/love) which are created by the children themselves enables us to customize our hand silk artwork to any image of your choice. This initiative not only supports local artisans but also plays a crucial role in community education and empowerment.
These pieces are more than just art; they’re a connection to a rich cultural heritage and a testament to the power of community and compassion. Join us in our mission to eradicate harmful misconceptions and support talented African artisans by bringing home one of these intricately woven masterpieces today.
Proceeds from the sale of these threaded artworks go directly towards supporting local artisans in Ghana and funding initiatives aimed at combatting the stigma surrounding autism.
