Hello guys,

I'm a graphic artist working on my final project (dissertation) in uk and I need help collecting and

documenting patterns and symbols in Nigeria and their meaning and how they are used that I can do tests with.

I'm interested in the fabric and embroidery patterns like the adire tie & dye and was surprised to find they had meaning,

some were proverbs and others told stories about the family/tribe/culture. So I've selected Igbo, yoruba and hausa as the 3 regions I'll work with.

The Nsidibi writing symbols came of interest also. I'll appreciate whatever I can get

Thanks in advance
