Ikon Craft Yoruba Textiles: West African Cloth Culture Exhibition Catalogue

A touring exhibition from Craftspace Touring.

Yoruba Textiles: West African Cloth Culture (1992) was an exhibition which explored the complexity and virtuosity of Yoruba textiles.

“All Yoruba art forms, the visual arts, oral literature, dance and music are interwoven and interrelated. Yoruba visual expression is pluralistic; sculpture, painting, pottery, textiles and beadwork are regarded as fine arts; the Yorubas themselves are examples of the living arts in their hair-styles, garments, jewellery, body tattoos and general appearance.” – Emmanuel Jegede
