Journeys in Indigo: Red Sea to Rajasthan

Join Jenny Balfour-Paul in this richly illustrated lecture on the worlds only natural blue dye, indigo. Widely used and traded worldwide for over six millennia and popular today in the 'slow fashion' movement, indigo has a fascinating colonial past reaching as far as rural Bengal and the great trading city of Kolkata. Balfour-Paul will recount her fieldwork travels in the Arab world and beyond, and how serendipity and a shared passion for this vivid colour led to her discovery, in the depths of the British Library, of the remarkable journals of forgotten explorer and indigo planter Thomas Machell.
