This study introduces rapid design ethnography as a research strategy that may be used in design as an alternative to conventional ethnography. It interrogates this strategy by means of a study of the Ghanaian Adinkra symbols. Adinkra is an indigenous graphic language that carries specific cultural narratives that embody proverbs and or poetic messages. In view of this, this study discusses how a collaboration between ethnography (and rapid ethnography) and design can be merged to create appropriate visual communication with specific reference to this indigenous visual vernacular. The study also highlights the evolution of rapid ethnographic techniques in comparison to conventional ethnography, as well as the way that these techniques may be of assistance to both designer and ethnographer. ae2026 Visual Arts MA Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2016-02-16T06:05:48Z 2016-02-16T06:05:48Z 2016-04 2016 Mini Dissertation Mashigo, K 2016, Interrogating rapid design ethnography : a strategy for exploring the indigenous visual vernaculars of the Ghanaian Adinkra symbols, MA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/51379> A2016 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/51379 en © 2015 University of Pretoria.
