The Big Draw - Draw & Play Oware at the Rich Mix

The Oware Society and Mwalimu Express London’s Sunday afternoon African Adventure launches our monthly playing session starts off with The Big Draw 2021 event in partnerships with Art Hoppers at the Rich Mix. The theme of this years Big Draw event is Make the Change, which we'll be reflecting on the relationship between people and our living environments through the ancient game of Oware.

Join us for a creative afternoon inspired by this fun, fast paced game of strategy and learn how to play! Make your own game-board from recycled materials to take home. Look at the beautiful Adinkra symbols carved into the boards and discover their meaning - The Sankofa, a mythical bird with feet pointing forward, head turning back, teaches us to learn from the past to help improve the future. Draw and cut out to make 3D graphics of your own. Finally we'll be using the annotations…
