DUE TO THE ARTISANAL NATURE OF THE WORK, NO TWO SHIRTS ARE IDENTICAL. A MILAYA IS A HAND-EMBROIDERED BEDSHEET THAT SOUTH SUDANESE GIRLS LEARN TO MAKE FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS. THEY ARE TRADITIONALLY USED AS DOWRIES AND DECOR. IN 2016, WHEN FAMILIES FLED THE WAR IN SOUTH SUDAN FOR UGANDA, THEY CARRIED ONLY WHAT THEY COULD WRAP AND TIE IN THEIR MILAYAS. THE MILAYA PROJECT SUPPORTS SOUTH SUDANESE WOMEN ARTISANS BASED AT BIDI BIDI REFUGEE SETTLEMENT IN UGANDA, 11 HOURS FROM OUR KAMPALA STUDIO BY BUS. IN KAMPALA, TAXI WINDOWS ARE ADORNED WITH HAND-DRAWN SLOGANS. RANGING FROM THE DEVOUT TO THE HUMOROUS, INSCRIPTIONS SUCH AS TRY JESUS OR EASY LOVE ARE A STAPLE OF THE CITY'S ICONOGRAPHY. LIKE THE CLOTHES WE UPCYCLE, TAXIS IN KAMPALA ARE THEMSELVES SECOND-HAND IMPORTS. IT TAKES 21 HOURS TO UPCYCLE THIS UNIQUE RETURN TO SENDER SHIRT BETWEEN BIDI BIDI AND OUR STUDIO IN KAMPALA.
