Ifé Franklin’s Indigo Project honors the lives, culture and history of the formerly enslaved who labored in the harshest conditions to produce materials that generated the wealth of nations. The project provides cultural components that invite communities into the lives of those that endured plantation existence. The centerpiece of the project are life-size replicas of slave cabins produced with community involvement. This also includes exhibitions, and performances.

Ifé Franklin’s Indigo Project is a testament to the enslaved. Ultimately, the project transmits the energy of love, honor, joy, respect, and remembering.
