Some interesting comments about what is actually considered African print and its true origins. 'African print' may not originate from Africa but it is what we associate with being African. I get my inspiration from the vivid coloured cloths that I grew up being surrounded with. To say my prints are not African purely on the basis that they originated from Indonesia, is like saying Senegalese salsa is not really salsa just because its origins are from Latin America.
