Abstract
Adinkra symbols visually integrate striking aesthetic power, evocative language and mathematical structures and philosophical concepts. The presentation develops themes from the texts encoded in the proverbs, stories and maxims associated with the symbols. The presentation will discuss mathematical concepts of symmetry, the Cartesian plane and log spirals encoded in some of the Adinkra symbols.
