An exploration of vernacular decoration used in natural indigo dyeing practices in Asia and Africa.

This zine presents some findings on the history of indigo dye plant technology and the cultural significance among various cultures.

Each zine includes an indigo-dyed dust jacket and a small amount of indigo plant seeds (japanese indigo, persicaria tinctoria).

This is a project of the Bandung Residency presented by the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA). It is made possible through the NYS AAPI Community Fund; the Ford Foundation; the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs with the support of NYC Council Members Crystal Hudson, Christopher Marte, Chi Ossé, and Sandra Ung; the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development; and Apicha Community Health Center.
