The Exoticisation and Otherisation of the Afrikan by the Afrikan

In the last decade or so we have seen an increase in Afrikan visibility and participation in the marketing of the continent as a commercial and creative hub. We have embarked on re - branding the image of Afrika i.e. moving away from the traditional Afro-pessimistic narrative to a more positive vibrant one as well as reclaiming the marketing rights of our own continent and cultures. This paradigm shift has reaped benefits for more and more, mostly young, Afrikan designers, artists and entrepreneurs both on the continent and in the Afrikan diaspora.

The world of Rastafarianism has come under increasing awareness, investigation and scrutiny as we dawn into the information age, and the many cultures of the world become globalised. The popularity of its native son Bob Marley has many of us asking, what is it? What propelled Bob into his faith and how did his faith tie into his mystique and his prophetic-like mannerisms? Despite what many people think they know about Rastafarians, it is fair to say, there are many misconceptions.

Finding Myself

I am at a stage in my life when I need more meaning. The statement that my life has to be worth more than this is consistently in my head. Over the past few days my faith was considerably shaken. I keep repeating the prayer for the Almighty to grant me the strength not to judge, because a Christian man who preaches to me in the office shook it.

The Graphic Designer’s responsibility

After consideration of God’s laws, all creative artists must know and believe in creation, instead of evolution. None are here by mere coincidence, but by purpose hence we have a mission to accomplish. God created us in his own image, which is why mankind has the ability to maintain the order instituted by God. As mankind grows and succumbs to various influences or adheres to the status quo, they are moulded away from the true essence of the being created by God. Therefore we lose the creative instinct necessary to maintain order in the world.

Shona Proverbs - Tsumo

A proverb is a short pithy sentence expressing some general truth or sentiment. These proverbs are important sayings that express philosophy of life, peculiar not only to the Shona but to other cultures as well. They express some general truths arrived at as a result of observation and experience, thats why they are usually part of the speech of elders, due to their vast experience with life they know better. 

Formation of Shona proverbs was obviously established in the 'Classical' times of shona society.
