A wax printing company in African cloths, based in Ghana, has created a new design line with the highlighted virus design and other symbols of the pandemic such as padlocks and airplanes. They say it’s to give a “positive touch to a negative phenomenon”.
The new cloths from the textile company Ghana Textiles Printing (GTP) impress because they have a globally recognizable motif: the design of the Covid-19 virus, printed in various colors and shapes and interlaced with padlocks, keys and airplanes. “We gave a positive touch to a negative phenomenon,” explained Stephen Badu, a GTP spokesman for the BBC.
“We are in a business where stories are told. And we tell our stories through our drawings ”, underlines Badu. “We know that this pandemic will leave a mark in the history of the world and it is important that future generations know that this phenomenon has happened in time”.
The planes, to remember the flight ban and closing of borders imposed by Ghana in quarantine and the printed glasses evoke the President of Ghana in his press conferences on Covid-19
