Making Marigold: Beaders of Bulawayo is a portrait of a women’s beading co-operative specialising in loomed beadwork, based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Over 200 photographs reveal the sumptuous glamour of the Marigold necklaces and beadwork. Short, stand-alone, narrative vignettes offer background insights into the making and development of the Marigold co-operative; how did these women, whose skilled practice and creative impulses, evident in each necklace, perfect this practice and what has sustained their efforts across decades?
