Deep in the heart of Kano, Northern Nigeria lies one of Africa’s oldest surviving traditions — the Kofar Mata dye pits.
For over 500 years, artisans here have dyed cloth using natural indigo, age-old methods, and generational knowledge passed from father to son.
In this documentary, I journey into the world of Ashiru Lawal — a second-generation dyer — and the vibrant community keeping this ancient craft alive.
From the sacred rhythm of dyeing to the cultural pride woven into every fabric, this is a story about identity, resilience, and the quiet power of tradition in a fast-changing world.
