Indalo
INDALO has two meanings in siSwati: “nature” and “to create.” This collective of craft artisans from Eswatini and European designers showcases objects created with sustainable natural materials. Organised by the International Trade Centre (ITC) and founded by the European Union (EU), this exhibition is centred around traditional skills and culture from the Southern African country.
Indalo shows a new collection of hand made objects that explores the relationship between natural materials, the hand made and the traditions and roots of the southern african country Eswatini. Presented in a small private gallery, Strandgade 34, Christianshavn, the collection brings together a series of pieces including lamps, brooms, tableware and vases made of grass, sisal, clay, wood a soapstone. Indalo reflects a dialogue between craftsmanship and contemporary designs. The collection has been developed by Tintsaba x Sharon Venancio, Siyaphambili x Delphine Meriau and Agathe Pautrot, Welcome Mashaba x Heidi Strom, Master Artworks and Favourite.
