CASSAVA

Gloria Ojulari Sule (UK) + participants hosted by Full Circle St Paul's Youth and Family Centre

CASSAVA (Clothing Art Saying Something and Valuing Alternatives) takes the form of two-person and three-person costumes produced through a collaborative process with an inter-generational group of women. This process involved the reworking of recycled clothing using Yoruba indigo hand-dyeing processes and Dutch wax prints; cloth traditionally associated with Nigerian cultural dress. The costumes, Egungun (3 in 1), Gelede (2 in 1) and Yemaya (1 in 2), reference Yoruba masquerade and cultural traditions. Visitors are invited to collectively try on and wear the composite costumes around the exhibition. CASSAVA was first shown at Full Circle and will be worn by its makers in the 2010 St Paul's Carnival.
