Wearable art adds to the layers of what Zanzibar has become famous for, besides the pristine beaches, spices, and coral reefs. A necklace, earrings, headpieces, and body ornaments have become synonymous with the piece of Zanzibar that a tourist can physically take as a reminder of the Island.
A reminder that carries the tales of the archipelago long after the tourist has walked away from the white-sand beaches. Shiko Onyango is one of the artists making wearable art on the island.
