        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.
