Among all the places that remain unfamiliar to many, Africa holds a special allure. Too often we only perceive its surface — yet it is home to profound visual and symbolic traditions. One of these is the Adinkra, a system of symbols originating in present-day Ghana, each carrying philosophical meaning and cultural depth.

Adinkra Loops is the first VJ pack to bring these ancient symbols into the realm of live visuals. These loops offer a powerful visual tool for any VJ looking to infuse their set with authenticity, symbolism, and tribal rhythm.

The pack includes 40 animations organized into single-symbol loops, combined motifs, and complex patterns. Use the pattern loops creatively with effects like Slide or Tile in Resolume (or Motion Tile and Offset in After Effects) to generate endless variations and rhythmic animations.

Each symbol is also provided as a standalone clip, allowing for personalized compositions and modular storytelling through visuals.

Like other white-line VJ packs such as those in our Lines Collection, these visuals can be used as masks or layered over other footage. For example, background loops from the Darkness Loop pack — with its jungle aesthetics — work beautifully when paired with the Adinkra visuals.

While these loops work with any genre, they are especially effective in afrobeat, tribal house, Latin house, or any set that explores rhythm, culture, and identity. Their symbolic richness and visual repetition make them perfect for layering and syncopation.

Symbols included:
Aban, Adinkrahene, Agyinduwura, Akoben, Akofena, Ananse Ntontan, Denkyem, Duafe, Dwennimmen, Funtumfunefu Denkyemfunefu, Kojo Baiden, Kwatakye Atiko, Mpuannum, Nea Onnim, Niankopon Aniwa, Nkyinkyim, Odo Nnyew Fie Kwan, Osram Ne Nsoromma, Tabon, Uac Nkanea.
