About our #EluALABERE print: In 2024 and beyond we're celebrating the unique indigenous resist printing techniques of West Africa and S.E. Asia. The digitalADIRE print collection pays homage to the cultural heritage of àdìre (a traditional Nigerian Yoruba tie-and-dye printing method using cassava paste illustrations working against indigo dye), batik (a traditional Indonesian Java wax-resist printing method using indigo dye), as well as the history of enslaved Africans' back-breaking work to harvest indigo in the American southern states of South Carolina and New Orleans. 

The deep green hues of the indigo plant pre-processed, and the intricate patterns of the stitched tye & dye technique of àdìre serve as the foundation of the green motif “Elu ALABERE" . "Elu" is the Yoruba word for Indigo, and "Alabere" is part of "àdìre alabere" the name for a dying technique designated for Yoruba men to dye fabric using machine-stitched thread instead of hand-wrapped raffia. "Alabere" in Yoruba or Igbo means "subordinate or slave”.
