Product Description
Sizing: 2.5 x 2.5 inches
In Sudan, the hibiscus flower (known locally as karkadeh) holds deep cultural and social significance. Its dried petals are brewed into a tangy red tea shared during celebrations and gatherings, symbolizing unity and hospitality. Over time, hibiscus has also become a quiet emblem of resistance: during the 2019 revolution, karkadeh was served to protesters in the streets, sustaining them through the struggle and embodying the people’s collective strength and hope for freedom.
These Hibiscus Coconut Shell Keychains, handcrafted by Mindanaoan makers in Kidapawan, Cotabato, carry the fierce spirit of resistance across seas. The hibiscus (known in the Philippines as gumamela) is a familiar and beloved flower, often found blooming in front yards and school gardens. Made from reclaimed coconut shells, an abundant and sacred material known as the “Tree of Life,” each piece is a reminder that art can be both weapon and witness.
Etched with the words “Free Sudan”, these keychains stand as an offering of solidarity from the Philippines to Sudan, a bridge between peoples who have long fought against empire, dictatorship, and the hunger for liberation that binds us all
Proceeds
100% of the profits from this keychain will go to Sudan Solidarity Collective (SSC). SSC was formed in response to the outbreak of a brutal war in Sudan. It seeks to resource grassroots civil society formations at the frontlines of relief efforts in those parts of Sudan that have been hardest hit by militarised state violence.
