Institutions & Collaborations

Institutional Programs & Cultural Engagements

Gasali Adeyemo offers museum- and university-level programming centered on Yoruba indigo traditions, material culture, and the transmission of indigenous knowledge through textile practice.

His institutional work is designed for public audiences, students, and cultural professionals, and emphasizes cultural context, process, and meaning rather than surface technique alone.

Programs are offered on a limited basis each year to preserve the integrity of the work and the depth of engagement.

Institutional Program Formats

Gasali Adeyemo’s institutional offerings may include:

  • Lectures with live indigo demonstration
    Contextual presentations on Yoruba indigo traditions, symbolism, and material intelligence, accompanied by live process demonstrations.

  • Visiting Master or Artist Residencies (3–7 days)
    In-depth engagements combining teaching, demonstrations, student interaction, and public programming.

  • Exhibition-adjacent programming
    Talks, demonstrations, and workshops developed in connection with exhibitions, collections, or cultural initiatives.

  • Academic & cultural symposia
    Participation in conferences, panels, and interdisciplinary discussions related to textile traditions, African material culture, and indigenous knowledge systems.

Each program is shaped in dialogue with the host institution to align with audience, curriculum, and cultural goals.

Collaborations

Gasali Adeyemo considers select collaborations in film, fashion, and cultural production where Yoruba indigo traditions are represented with respect, clarity, and contextual integrity.

Collaborations are evaluated based on:

  • Cultural alignment and ethical use of symbols

  • Clear scope and purpose

  • Intellectual property protections

  • Appropriate credit and attribution

Commercial use of designs or techniques is considered carefully and selectively.
