Natural indigo can be used as a tool to acknowledge and respond to African and Caribbean historical narratives while also celebrating contemporary indigo practices and the spirit of exploration and cultural healing it embodies.

Indigo played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade, particularly in the Caribbean. In Africa, indigo is harnessed not
only for its cosmetic and spiritual uses but also for its healing properties. The natural dye wielded social, political, and cosmological influence beyond its mystical and cosmetic applications.

Our workshops allow participants to take part in nurturing this cultural engagement with indigo and leave the workshop with an understanding of how the dye works and the many stories it holds. The focus is on embracing experimentation with indigo, with no fear of making mistakes.
