Ubuhle, a new form of bead art developed by women in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is coming to Queens. Ndwango, a plain black fabric, is a main component. Using skills handed down through generations, crafters stretch the textile into abstract and figurative subjects. A single panel can take more than a year to complete. Godwin-Ternbach Museum
