“African arts and crafts find
expression in a variety of woodcarvings, brass and leather art works.”
“Maulana Karenga states that in African art, the object was not as
important as the soul force behind the creation of the object”
“Stories reflect a group
cultural identity and preserving the stories of Africa will help preserve an
entire culture. Storytelling affirms pride and identity in a culture.”
“This is a picture of a Griot from
Ancient Africa telling a story”
“In
African culture, the “self” is
not separate from the world, it is united and intermingled with the natural and
social environment.”
“in all ethnic groups throughout Africa, the family
unit is of the utmost importance and it is reflected in the customs of each tribe.”
“African cultural values are based on a
foundation of the past and present, a leading reason why elders are so well
respected.”
