And certainly a study of indigenous textiles (especially pre- and post-colonial, where those categories apply) would provide fodder for discussion & analysis...

Hi All,

I am working with a faculty member on research regarding non-european approaches to/thoughts on color theory. These are his exact words: " In particular, I'm trying to find the very elusive: good resources on non-Eurocentric color. That is, how is/are color(s) understood in, say, India, or West Africa, etc. In the past, I found this had to be assembled piecemeal from random sources."

 

Any advice, direction, insights would be much appreciated!

 

With thanks,
