Adinkra Hene African History in American Architecture Tour
Metal mysteries & stone secrets
What to Expect
New Orleans ironwork is a language, forged by hands from all over Africa, and the world. This language has been hidden in plain sight for centuries.
This history tour and art walk will reveal the Adinkra symbols, Yoruba iconography, Bogolanfini text, and Vodou sigils written into the wrought-iron balcony rails, gates, curbstones, and hand-set tilework of our city streets.
The storytellers on this tour are like living Rosetta Stones. The information they share will transform how people view the survivors of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and American architecture forever. Based on the expert research of their book From Forged Fire, from which the authors created this tour. You will never look at New Orleans the same way again.
