Review: From Pattern Language to Modern Practice

Name two canonical adire patterns and their visual or symbolic associations, explain one way women transmitted craft knowledge across generations, identify one ethical consideration for contemporary designers, and state two correct care rules for adire cloth.

Any two from: Eleko (face motif), Ibadandun (geometric repeat, civic pride), Olokun (flowing lines, sea deity), Lagidigba (bold large-scale), Ojuju Olokun (spirit-world layered imagery). Knowledge transmission: apprenticeship from senior practitioners to younger learners within the community. Ethical consideration: any one of — co-production models that compensate knowledge holders; honest labelling of digital reproductions; transparency about synthetic versus natural indigo. Care rules: any two of — cold water only; pH-neutral soap; store in shade away from direct light.
