“Bobbo” on Campus — Schuylerville Central School students (right) work with Gilbert “Bobbo” Ahiagble to create kente cloth during an Expanding Horizons program. The multi-colored pattern in the cloth (left) is named for Akpedo, a Ghanaian vine whose name loosely translates to mean “unity.” Art Historian Lisa Aronson purchased the cloth from Ahiagble and provided it to Skidmore's Intercultural Center. Ahiagble, a master kente cloth weaver from Ghana, was on campus in early December in connection with the “Africa Embodied” exhibition curated by Aronson’s students.
