FANTE ASAFO FLAG "WILL YOU FLY OR WILL YOU VANISH" KWEKU KAKANU, SALTPOND, GHANA, C. 1940 - 1950 cotton with sewn applique, a mythical bird with curled arrow tail stands above a fallen hunter, Union Jack in top corner(164 x 82cm)Provenance: Private collection, United Kingdom Note: For a similar example please see: The Brooklyn Museum, accession number 2009.39.1. Asafo flags are a striking and unique mix of traditional West African artistic techniques with European heraldry. Beginning around the 17th century, the Fante peoples who inhabited the south-west coast of modern-day Ghana formed social and military groups known as Asafo (deriving from sa, meaning war, and fo, meaning people). Each group developed elaborate traditions of visual art, most striking of all were the flags shown here. They were comprised of bold imagery appliqued onto a cotton background, commonly depicting indigenous proverbs which relate closely to the commissioning Asafo group. The motifs they depict are varied; some aim to intimidate, some are humorous, whilst others have an undeniably surreal quality - all speak to a rich culture of local folk traditions. The influence of European heraldry is also clear, in the 19th and early 20th century, many groups incorporated versions of the Union Jack into the flag to enhance the power of the imagery (as seen on the present examples). Asafo societies remain a key part of Fante culture into the modern day, flags are paraded at traditional festivals, celebrations and funerals – with the Ghanaian flag replacing the Union Jack since the country’s independence in 1957. *We are grateful to Barbara Eyeson for identifying the specific artists behind these flags.
