Look closer at this brooch to see a diagram of the hull of a ship used to transport Africans, packed in horrifying conditions, during the Middle Passage. There are five cowrie shells—a number that is a symbol of justice.
Phyllis Bowdwin created this pin to commemorate 400 years of slavery, and has described her work as a history lesson and a memory of the African American legacy.
Inspired by her African background, Bowdwin combines traditional African craft techniques with contemporary influences. She experiments with organic materials such as wood, amber, bone and cowrie shell, combining them with precious metals.
"The Middle Passage - African Holocaust, 'Maafa' (terrible thing in Swahili) Brooch," dated 1993 to 1996, is in our @cooperhewitt. #Jamestown400 #ANationsStory
