In the final episode of the season, join our host and an artist-educator as we talk about the broader Yorùbá textile canon — which has existed dynamically for centuries, and made it possible for lace to come on the scene. We move through enduring adages about dress & appearance, marvel at the labor-intensive openwork of handwoven aṣọ òkè, dive into the intricate patterns of àdìrẹ, and consider how textile artists are responding to lace till today.
