Cassava paste, hand-laid
Fermented cassava starch hand-painted as resist — centuries of àdir̀e elẹ́kọ̀ technique carried in every line the artisan draws.
The indigo pit endures
Seven generations of Abeokuta dyers, the same fermented Lonchocarpus leaves, the same earthen vat — the deep blue does not forget its origin.
Pattern as proverb
Olokun curves, Ibadan-dun grids, Sun-Bebe script — each motif encodes a Yoruba saying worn directly on the body as living language.
Cloth meant for wrapping
Not displayed behind glass but folded and draped, meters of indigo cotton becoming a second language spoken through the body.
