"The drum is a voice that speaks to the soul."

February is almost over, but the impact of Black History Month lasts well beyond the calendar.
This African drum is built to honor the rhythm, storytelling, and deep cultural roots woven into African music. More than just an instrument, the drum is a voice, a way to connect, communicate and keep traditions alive.
This weave design was taught at Twist & Shout by Meri Hokhikyan, an incredibly talented artist originally from Armenia. She builds some amazing balloon bouquets and large displays but this was my first exposure to her work. I didn't know if I would be able to make it to her class, but I am very happy I did!
