Indigo as Pedagogy Field School is a documentary video of the Indigo as Pedagogy: International Field School co-organised by IIAS, the Institute of African Studies (IAS) at the University of Ghana, and the Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) in February 2024. For five days, faculty, communities of practice (indigo craft practitioners who are Indigenous knowledge experts) and students from Ghana, Taiwan and French West Africa collaborated in the co-production of knowledge regarding indigo.

The culmination of the HAB Indigo and Shared Heritage online course conducted at TNUA, the field school allowed students and faculty to experience firsthand how indigo is used in Ghana, while local communities and practitioners had the opportunity to see the global context of their local practice.

The video script and narration were written and conducted by HAB partner and IAS Research Fellow Dr. Eric Tamatey Lawer, while the video was edited by Eric and the IAS Audio-visual unit at the University of Ghana.
