The Influence of Change on Indigenous Strip-Woven Fabrics in Ghana
JOURNAL OF ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES(2023)
摘要
Indigenous art forms like textiles have undergone critical transitions to their current form due to the influence of change in the environment. Studies in recent times have identified new creativity by weavers in the major weaving communities. This study therefore seeks to identify the influence and effects of change on colours, techniques, tools and materials as well as gender roles on strip-woven fabrics in Ghana. Qualitative research coupled with case study approach aided to gather relevant data through interviews and observation from master weavers. It was revealed that politics, formal education, technology and modernity have influenced changes in the production of strip fabrics. Notably, embroidery machines play an important role in creating designs on the finished fabrics for the market.
