“Recalling the Journey,” a quilt by 2011 新mg官网电子游戏 apprentice Helen Anderson. Helen’s quilt features an image of the Sankofa bird, an Akan symbol meaning “go back and f等h it.“照片:R. 罗德里格斯/学报.

The concept of “Sankofa” is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Africa. Sankofa在阿肯语中是“我是一个女人.” Literally translated, this means “it is not taboo to go back and f等h what you forgot.”
