Regula Tschumi - Bowl Carriers

£6.50

Zine #188

Metal bowls are ubiquitous in everyday life in Ghana. They are mainly used by head porters and market women to transport or store their goods. But sometimes they are used for completely different purposes, such as carrying water from the well or as a washing vessel. They are also used by professional head porters to sit on while waiting for customers, or even to sleep in. Carried upside down, empty bowls also provide shelter from the sun and rain, and children love to play and hide behind them.
