Description
Long overlooked, Zulu basketry is the first comprehensive pictorial record of a craft form that has endured political change in education and empowered basket weavers with a sustainable means of making a living. Zulu Basketry focuses on contemporary basket weaving from the Hlabisa area of Kwa-Zulu Natal where some of the best work is produced. Master weavers from this area like the late Reuben Ndwandwe and Beauty Ngxongo are represented in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and in private collections world-wide.
