INDIGO RCDF e-zine contribution
March, 2023Decoloniality and Fashion e-zine, launched in 2021 by the Research Collective for Decoloniality and Fashion Foundation (RCDF), is an experimental, plurilingual publication that challenges conventional editorial, writing, and narrative styles. Each issue brings together diverse perspectives, criticism, and creative intersections, aiming to move beyond the monocultural confines of fashion history and inspire connections to the ways fashion is lived and experienced globally.
My personal account in this anniversary issue reflects on my participation in the Aboubakar Fofana InPlace Research Residency workshop, led by Malian artist and Indigo master Aboubakar. His work is deeply grounded in West African textile and dyeing traditions, supporting cultural reclamation. The indigo dyeing workshop guided participants through setting up and maintaining a fructose dye vat, and developing a set of seven distinct indigo colour notes ‘Musicality’ in a material-led experience deeply cultural. Hosted by the arts and cultural not-for-profit InPlace, this workshop took place at Garambi Baanj / Laughing Waters Cultural Precinct.
