The article discusses the arrival of the textile art project "W Fil Faden Thread" in Lagos after traveling through cities like Vienna, Bregenz, St. Gallen, Dakar, and Berlin. The project, funded by the Austrian Science Fund, delves into historical fabric narratives, colonial encounters, and global trade through a quilt that evolves with each location, reflecting local contexts.
