I googled Kamares Ware Jars today at school so that I could look for the octopus jar and as soon as I saw it I clicked on it. Top row and all. Right there where I couldn’t miss it. It sent me to my very own site!!! I love it!

African Culture

Today in Art History we got onto the subject of female circumcision. At times, its more than just art its also anthropology. I came home and did a little research on the subject. I knew about the basics and how terrible it could be at its worst but I wanted to look up two African models who were activists against it. Along the way I found some pretty interesting art.

Disclaimer: These photographs are of people against female circumcision. Do not take this as a personal stance for or against female circumcision. I am merely reporting that it happens and that some people have made art showing their stance. Keep in mind that these are from people with a Western Perspective. Also, I don’t know who the artists are. If you do- leave me a comment and I’ll give credit.
