NJUGA NJUGA

Playing cards Designed by Daudi M Yves

NJUGA is a reshuffle of the familiar—a way of reclaiming space in what’s already here. Decolonization isn’t just looking back; it’s rewriting the now. With a dreadlocked King, an afro-crowned Queen, and a clever hyena as Joker, this deck draws from African folktales to tell our story, our way.
