- Description
- Bark cloth manufactured from the bark of the fig tree (Mutuba; Ficus natalensis) in Uganda is traditionally associated with death, because it was the fabric used for wrapping the dead before modern-day wooden coffins came about. Sarah Nakisanze’s story of building a successful enterprise in Uganda making crafts from bark cloth, is that of courage and determination to overcome mindsets and taboos, including the fear of death from touching bark cloth.
