Communication through cloth
Wax print fabrics are associated with African culture because of their tribal patterns and motifs. Each design and colour can reflect local traditions and symbols such as the tribal, marriage and social status of the wearer.Textile around the world have always offered a means of communicating the most subtle and complex of messages through colour, patterning, materials, inscriptions and the ways in which they are worn or otherwise displayed. However only on the African continent, with its extraordinary diversity of peoples and cultures, has the practice of communicating through cloth become such a refined and subtle artform.
