African Canvas Margaret Courtney-Clarke
The Art of Africa is a casualty of colonial exploitation, surviving principally in the museums of other countries. ~ Nadine Gordimer
“My objective in this work is to document an extraordinary art form - vernacular art and architecture in West Africa - that is not transportable and therefore not seen in museums around the world. It is an attempt to capture the unseen Africa, a glimpse into the homes and into the spirit of very proud and dignified peoples. In much the same way as I photographed the art of Ndebele women, I have drawn on my personal affinity for the art itself, for methods, design and form, rather than the socio-anthropological or political realities of a people or continent in dilemma. These images portray a unique tradition of Africa, a celebration of an indigenous rural culture in which the women are the artists and the home her canvas.”

I think next thursday is gonna be the best day of my entire life tbh
reblog for next thursday to be the best day of your life
not risking it
I like how this post didn’t threaten me or my mother if I did not reblog…very wholesome. Have a great Thursday
I have a test. Not risking it
I’d like to put a reminder in this post that all you’re risking is a normal Thursday, and reblogging only gives you internal positive vibes. It’s a bit unsettling that any post that jokingly gives good luck is always interpreted as having an implicit threat. Your Thursday’s gonna be great. <3
