Stakeholders Debate Potential Shift from Traditional Madras to Kente Cloth for National Dress

Antigua and Barbuda National Dress

Discussions are set to unfold among various stakeholders regarding the potential transformation of the national dress.

This proposed change involves shifting from the traditional Madras cloth, known for its vibrant checks and lightweight fabric, to Kente cloth, a woven masterpiece crafted by skilled Ghanaian artisans.

Kente cloth, rich in color and adorned with intricate African patterns, not only reflects cultural heritage but also serves as a symbol of pride and identity for the community.

The discussions will delve into the implications of this shift, considering both aesthetic and cultural values.
