    In the Akan these adinkra symbols serve as a source of communication especially the aya symbol which stands for endurance and resourcefulness
    Anyone who wears this symbol suggests that he has endured many adversities and outlasted much difficulty in life. It’s very necessary to know the various signs and get to know the designs you take to a particular event. Sometimes with what you’re wearing it doesn’t go with the theme or the type of event being organized and we the Ashantis, it matters a lot. Thank you for showing Ghana to the world. ❤️😊

    At 3:50, 10:19, & 11:30 I *love* how they are using adrinka symbols on the fabric cloth. I just *love* adrinka symbols and what they stand for.

    *Actually batik and clay-block, metal-wiresheet-block and wood-block printing were already known in ancient Egypt, so therefore is was used in Africa even before Egypt was born as a colored and multi-mixed culture. To reduce Africa's age in print to just the 19th century is a downright insult! Surely Africa lost a lot of it's arts due to White racist slave trade and terrorism.*

    • @bluebell3720
      @bluebell3720 5 месяцев назад

      Batik is the use of wax originated in Indonese
      I cant find any articles claiming Egypt had a tradition of doing this
      The dutch developed the technique but Indonesia didn't like their style of cloth but west Africa did
      There is nothing to suggest this was a technique there previously
      Adire is tie dying they have a long tradition of tie dying then adding the resist was introduced
      Tie dying is believed to have started in china but became very popular in Japan
      I always think of hippies assosiated with tie dye

    • @serpentlaw5961
      @serpentlaw5961 5 месяцев назад

      ​@@bluebell3720 You cannot contradict people in a culture they were brought up in- Wax dyeing is extremely old and always existed in African and Asia. In fact the wax used in Africa and Dutch dyeing is an African lacquer which washes out of the garment with salt, as salt fixates the dye and disperses the wax. In fact ancient Chinese schoolbooks were wax printed, - the ancient form of silkscreen printing.

    • @bluebell3720
      @bluebell3720 5 месяцев назад

      @@serpentlaw5961
      Ok so explain why you think it was a tradition in Egypt
      When there's no account of it anywhere
      The only reference to African print west Africa was that it was introduced by the Dutch who learnt it from Indonesia
      The Dutch then introduced copper plates
      I haven't seen anyone dispute this
      I cant find anything saying the cloth is layered in lacquer

    • @serpentlaw5961
      @serpentlaw5961 5 месяцев назад

      ​@@bluebell3720 You are so undereducated. Linen and Cotton came from Africa. The famous volumenous Khaftans of the African Ife, Edo and Igbo were all printed with the pigments that the Europeans exported later to Europe during slavery. Africans did not walk around naked all the time. In fact Morocco also made creppe silk and the rich pigment colors that the Berbers use did not come from the Dutch. The Egyptian bamboo silk is the same type made in China, and the colors and the arabesques that are printed on them did not come from cheese-eating Dutch colonial incest. So, if you are hoping to find references in former colonial literature, you will search until you drop because colonial powers will never admit having learned print from Morocco, Algiers or Egypt (and these are in AFRICA). Moroccans are AFRICANS too, and they have Moroan admixture (from Meröe in the South), and their Black Califs wore PRINTED silk! The tiles in all North African mosques are PRINTED with pigments, and the same prints were used on fabrics. The printing blocks in North Africa predate Holland and the Dutch. Oriental Africa is OLDER than little Holland. ...not even the Benin Bronzes were known of prior to the recent exposées when private old colonial collectors had given them to museums after deceasing. efore that, there were no hints of African grand culture. Holland didn't even exist when African invented PAPER!
