The goal for this project was to create a museum inspired by and dedicated to African art and pride through the Gele- a traditional headpiece symbolizing West-African pride and culture. It was inspired by the Benin artifacts being returned to West-African museums and the form and concept of the African-American Museum, creating the facade materials and patterns around West-African textile patterns and art.
