Afrotek
Masterbook
2014—15
Afrotek is the name of my masterbook for my master project ‘6 yards — 5 stones’.
‘6 yards — 5 stones’ refers to the size of an African wax cloth, 6 yards, and the 5 stones stand for the conflict minerals (gold, copper, cobalt, diamond and gold) you find in Congolese soil.
This book is a research to the Congolese subculture, ‘La Sape’, the African wax cloth and the conflict minerals.
