Gasali Adeyemo is a Yoruba master artist whose practice preserves and evolves ancient indigo and resist-dye traditions rooted in Yoruba material culture. His work bridges ancestral knowledge, symbolic patterning, and deep engagement with the meaning of color and cloth as cultural text.
Trained in Nigeria and teaching internationally for decades, Gasali works in adire eleko, adire oniko, and hand-drawn batik techniques using natural indigo pigment. His textiles and teaching have been featured in cultural programs, museum contexts, and respected workshops across the United States and abroad.
