30 Glorious Years with Kamuzu - red shirt

Date

• ca. 1994

Summary

• This fabric, made into a short-sleeved button-up collared shirt, was designed to commemorate the first president of Malawi, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, and his 30 years in office. The round portraits of Banda framed with green laurel leaves are displayed on a red background. Along the bottom of the shirt we see in black, yellow, red, green, and blue a rooster standing in front of the rising sun such as the one featured on the Malawian flag. On the sleeves and collar of the shirt we see colorful geometric designs along with smaller round images of the country’s important symbols and places such as an ear of corn and notable buildings and monuments.
