What is your biggest success?
In January 2024, Thabang’s eponymous label was selected to participate in Nubuke Foundations artist residency in Accra, Ghana where they will
focus on traditional and contemporary weaving techniques, sustainable practices, and innovative textile design in collaboration with weavers in
Loho, Wa.
During the six week residency, the label will get the opportunity to conduct research - from spinning and dyeing to the delicate process of loom
weaving, providing a firsthand experience of the skill and experience involved in Ghanaian textile creation.
