QUESTION

ART 112 Writing Assignment

Asante kente cloth was traditionally made by Asante weavers to be worn on the body by Asante royalty. Today it has been appropriated and commodified by the West. In fact, most examples of kente in the US are made outside of Ghana which is troubling to some Asante people and scholars. Read this article: http://www.uminnpressblog.com/2011/04/examining-ghanas-use-of-intellectual.html. Find an example of a non-traditional use of kente cloth either in your daily environment or through an internet search. See if you can upload the image. 1. Discuss how the meaning of kente has changed in this new use. 2. Do you think this item is correctly presented as "kente"? 3. Lastly, drawing on the article by Boateng, discuss kente as it relates to one of the following: copyright, intellectual property, or issues of appropriation.
