Addoley Dzegede (GH/US)

Addoley Dzegede’s primary point of departure here is the history of indigo as well as the shifting popularity of the color blue in the west throughout history. She reimagines forms and imagery found while researching the history of the dye’s processing and distribution. Working from diagrammatic illustrations and borrowing from the aesthetics of market vendors and textile artisans, Dzegede renders fossilized records of the pigment’s cultivation.

Addoley Dzegede is a Ghanaian-American interdisciplinary artist who grew up in South Florida. She currently lives in Rotterdam, NL where she is a Fulbright awardee in Craft to the Netherlands. She is half of the collaborative duo, LAB:D, with Lyndon Barrois Jr.
