In Africa, art is part of the everyday: the functional and the sacred. The masks, the clothes: they are meant to be USED. They have meaning, and often power. They are not meant to be seen (in fact are often kept hidden) except when USED. What a different world.Linda Branch Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587250459187246312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-70135469803441016912007-10-26T10:19:00.000-04:002007-10-26T10:19:00.000-04:00all so fabulous.

Or am I getting Cameroon confused with Congo -- in one of those c-places the village lawgiver will settle a dispute by hammering in another nail to keep the disputants to their word. Interesting system! Also, so interesting that there's no word for art, art is a cultural given. Thanks for showing these; the hat especially!margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157748924008663110noreply@blogger.com
