Gumbo Stool for Studio Kër by Costantini

Gumbo Stool for Studio Kër by Costantini

In the coastal south Gumbo is a humble meal of royalty passed down from the recipes and traditions of African and African Diaspora cultures; in most cases recipes are sustained through oral tradition. The lessons in these traditions are fundamental to how Black culture in the Coastal South understands itself today in a similar way the stool is the first seat a child is instructed to rest, sit, learn or have their hair nourished and cared for. The "Gumbo Stool" is a representation of where we’ve come from and the genius of Black people’s humble traditions.
