Tata somba
Home


Overview
The Tata Somba are traditional dwellings located in the northwestern part of Benin, in the Atacora department, and are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Approach
I created a universe around the Tata Somba, inspired by the lives of the inhabitants of this region of Benin. This includes, in particular, the vegetation, artifacts linked to voodoo such as cowries and fetishes used for protection, as well as antelopes, which are connected to activities like hunting.




“Aunty” is a pattern inspired by women in Africa. It reflects feminine power and is made up of accessories I saw women use throughout my childhood.
