Karingana: uma estória contada por nós | Wacy Zacarias | TEDxKaMpfumo


African traditions are traditions and
are civilizations of the spoken word
this is an oral tradition in Africa.
testimony is passed from generation to generation.
through the spoken word to the
western Africa that from the
16
writing already existed, it was
back because ProUni gives to dominate
always the word spoken in mozambique
is no different
Mozambique is a tradition of the word
we speak in Mozambique
we started all our stories with
to cheat the people source to
trick
beyond this spoken tradition there are
africa another selection that is of the symbols
Africans
this is another way people
communicating with one another and
this tradition is not so strong.
as in the West, whose symbol
of Africans are 20 in almost everything and in
day to day life of African people
and these are the same symbols that
afternoon pass beyond the utensils
for what we already use
as African fabric capulana ACAPO
wool is the fabric we all use
capulana is part of our tradition
now the plan we find throughout the
women who work in the
beige we tied capulana to everything and
it’s a shame as for a woman
african not having a dome in the wallet
huh
our mothers our teaching aunts
that this is part of our
tradition and the promoter
does anyone know where this capulana comes from
How did she get to know her?
arrived in Africa who made the first
capulana as it was conceived what
meant the drawings and symbols
who were in it someone knows how to respond
the first capulana comes to Africa in the
19th century of the first
campaign in Mombasa and on the island of
Mozambique
this was the first were the first
points that this is the time
contact with the African people in the first century
16
she arrives in the West by the hand of
since it was an imitation of the
Indonesian java fabric and Islam from
when they arrived indonesia liked the
java and decided to create a technology
to imitate is this this production and were
industrialize production and they
they returned still snow in the hope of
who were going to start a new business and which
It was the astonishment god when I feel it was
rejected what they told us
we prefer our fabric way
traditional hand-made and today had
created a product that no longer has
market and when I was back pro
Holland were the coast goal that Ghana and
there the people liked this place and it was
from that point on, it was an African
have ankle ankle
Africa
today the African market is qualified to
5 billion dollars says 5 billion
dollars only who percent stays in
Africa
this is we make birth or we
we consume a product that we do not
have no economic benefit the
economic benefit of this product will
all for china
I learned prolonged the largest company
production of African textiles in a
Dutch company and I dominate the market
Africa with 30% of all sales
then I ask question you said
African fabric of this textile industry
what is the part that is african
beyond the consumer
what is the role we have in this whole
the production process makes sense
you are the greatest symbol of our
identity that is capulana is produced
by others
it makes sense that we leave more
once in our history is told
by others
they do not understand what our day is
day I
they do not know what our culture is they
do not know what we want a beak that is
south africa died Sunday our
history and create them and the
we consume and never
we asked what our
real part we never stop to think about
to gain from being part of this
industry in a much more
that we should try to produce
our own fabric all factories
that existed that existed from the plan
until today
now closed because they do not
with the industry that came from
and there is nothing that
plans to enter our
there is nothing that protects our industry
national
within this trend
and I say we decided in 2015
we wanted to be part of this movement in
2015
I was doing the master’s degree from
in Germany and when I was
growing truth is that the bather
capulana I went to Holland to
investigate more about this flat and
when I arrived in Holland I went to
factory and I interviewed them how
you make Kaplan
how do you interpret cultures
how do you put the
African symbols which is why the
African creators and thinkers
of our tales.
culture is how it is integrated into this
that you create and will not know
answer
they did not know what our
part and the hills ponder we
we entered with the Africans in the instrument
we draw a fabric that consumes them
we’ve created everything here behind closed doors and
Let’s leave in Africa and buy them more
Why do not you come in with the
because whenever we try
do something with it I left a
thing so mean and mediocre
the middle of the market and I was shocked and
I realized at any moment that she did not even
realized that I was African and walks
how to speak with a pronunciation
very American see forget that who
was in front of her was a look
black and move was not african
African descent and the other
colleagues were a little ashamed and I
decided that very day indignant with
that I saw that I was not going to be part of the
consumers I was not going to leave
with others dictated here my people
should consume and that I would create my own
own tissue company and I
I could tell my capulana because nothing
better than anyone else
nothing better than me to realize and
to know who African women are
It is the African people that they like
are the stories of respecting the
accounts and when I arrived in Mozambique
and knew milan
so the deceived carini gana was born
we choose to teach even on purpose
Why do we tell the story to us?
been we want to change the narrative of the
African textile industry through
stories we tell through the
my history of its history and
history of our people we want
that the history of Mozambique and Africa
One of us is arrested and not
today we edit how it should be
because we are a period that we all
we want to seek solutions and seek
solutions inside out
No one can create a solution for us.
without realizing the difficulties that are
work in mozambique
no one knows our people better than
that we do not go into it with a
dreamy head
we realize that it is a very
and that there are many other things that
must happen must be true already
there is a textile industry we need
of fashion schools exams of technicians of
fashion we need engineers to test the
we need to have the whole chain of
values ​​of tissue and Mozambican
cotton thread the thread up the fabric
today this needs to happen in a
way well thought out and already exists
this way of thinking
but we all have to realize that it is
I need to take this serious thing.
we can not think what fashion is or what
Ana is a culture only thing is a
business and a business that gives
money if it is well done and is a
industry that can change the face of our
country is an industry that has value has
a cultural value but also has the value
monetary
and this is how we should look
This is such a top wool that we all
We use it, I share the story with you.
not just to talk about my business
or what we want to do because
we think we are the only ones who
we think so
but we can say that when you have a
dream and how many descents when we go
to be consumers, it is possible to
possible to do and we should not
there are young people and there is a
looking for a new African identity
an identity that is built by us
and it is not said that what comes from outside
it is better that our
we do not want to reject the culture of
our teaching grandparents
everyone to go back and already
decided what is important is that the
that comes from the root
so it’s time for our size
we learn to tell our own
stories
