Ecologies of Color is an evolving series of workshop and writing installations guided by ongoing research and development of praxis with Indigo dye technologies.
Through Ecologies of Color we partner with various organizations and institutions to share the traditions of Indigo dye as expressed throughout the American South, Caribbean, and parts of Africa and Asia. Regarding this work as an ancestral practice, we aim to reclaim and restore that which survived attempts at both erasure and exploitation by returning it to its sacred origins.
Ecologies of Color hinges on the awareness that the Indigo dye process is facilitated by the expression of many elements within an ecosystem, hence the name of this project.
