Yes, I agree, we have to develop more curriculum’s and institutions where at the centre is indigenous practices. In order to achieve this we have to decolonize, black academia has to decolonise and develop new theories and approaches that will assist us in our strategies to recreate and reconnect with our being and self, simoultanously community building through all aspects of life: our dress, design, thinking etc. Textile and Dress (cultural dress) is 1 element of the whole.

Would creating uncolonized fashion be a viable option to achieve the desired result? For this would presuppose that there are uncolonized institutions that are creating uncolonized Afrikans to realize that goal. I am really interested in your thesis….and wish you success.
