Philip Huang will create an immersive public indigo dyeing experience in The Fields where Indigo World will be brought to life with multiple indigo and mud dye vats. The triangular structure that is inspired by the golden ratio centrally standing in The Fields becomes a communal space for friends to come together to dye indigo and engage in making and creation that is informed by the land. Panels of hand-dyed Indigo and Dune fabrics form a dramatic yet calming backdrop, providing sanctuary from the sun, everyone will be invited to dye indigo and mud. The vats will rotate over the course of the four days with programming that will compliment Indigo World by our Friends and Family. In addition to dyeing the vats will need to be kept alive, this becomes at once a nurturing exercise where the indigo will be fed by vegetable waste and juice from the land, dyers and friends learning that the conversation with indigo and fermentation is an exchange that requires care. The vibrant blue color we know as indigo dyeing only possible through the care and process by our volunteers, collaborators and friends.

To create a community that comes together to celebrate colors drawn from the land. Transforming old or new clothes. Indigo World at Wonderfruit is about making together and celebrating what we make with our hands, natural ingredients that go back to nature.

“You can dye whatever you bring - some might work, some might not, but we will find out. Some will make breathtaking masterpieces while other experiments could kill off a vat. We encourage people to continue learning and this is something cool to get to know, at any age. If you’re an experienced dyer, here is a chance to create your masterpiece while helping others learn about this beautiful process.” - Philip Huang.
