DELINEATING THE JOS BURNT MARKET IN COLOURS.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the vibrant history, significance, and aftermath of the Jos Burnt Market, focusing on the role that colours play in its delineation. The Jos Burnt Market, located in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, has been a central hub of commerce and cultural exchange for many years. Tragically, it suffered a devastating fire in February 2002, leading to its devastation and degeneration. Throughout this paper, we will delve into the historical context, cultural significance, and the role of colours in marking the resilience and revival of the Jos Burnt Market.
