| Summary: | This paper discusses the presence of
materials, technical and technological
knowledge originating in the African
culture in surface and textile construction
work through the analysis of geometric
patterns and their compositions derived,
present in work with the quilt technique.
This relationship is discussed from the
perspective of geometry and the textile
surface design showing how reflection on
the ethnic and cultural diversity can
contribute to the affirmation and
appreciation of certain crops and their
knowledge that, in many instances, are
rootless and wrongly attributed the
European and euro descendants cultures.
This paper seeks to highlight the African
origin of some geometric patterns lavishly
designed in textile surfaces, often played,
taught and disseminated without their
proper provenances are granted. This
reflection will demonstrate the
contributions of African culture and
African descent in the textile surface
design, legitimizing the systematization of
knowledge and African knowledge that can
be understood through the study of its
artifacts.
