Adi Nhyia: A book of symbols (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781953555908)

"Symbols are the bridges between our past and future-carrying the wisdom of our ancestors while shaping the world yet to come."

Symbols are more than mere designs-they are the language of culture, history, and identity. From ancient hieroglyphics to modern iconography, they carry meaning across generations, shaping our understanding of the world.

In Adi Nhyia A book of symbols, the author presents a groundbreaking collection of newly conceived African symbols, designed to honor the past while embracing the future. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship yet reimagined for contemporary expression, these symbols bridge ancestral wisdom with modern creativity.

What began as sketches in the 1980s has evolved into a visionary archive, meticulously crafted with the help of the author's daughters. Unlike the Adinkra symbols of farewell, Adi Nhyia signifi es "getting together" and "meeting the future," embodying unity and forward-thinking artistry.

This book is an invitation to artists, designers, and visionaries to explore a new visual language-one that speaks to where we come from and where we are going.
