THE STORY BEHIND MARKUBi

Before the journey,
there were hands.

For Omran, who comes from Nyala in Darfur, marqub is a small part of home. A familiar object with a story that reaches beyond its shape.

A friend who lived and worked in Darfur brought this collection to Europe to share the region’s culture and craftsmanship. The remaining shoes are now with Omran in Oslo.
