Treasures from Mama Africa

About

African art constitutes one of the most diverse legacies on earth.

Though many casual observers tend to generalize "traditional" African art, the continent is full of people, societies, and civilizations, each with a unique visual special culture. The definition also includes the art of the African Diasporas, such as the art of African Americans. Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture from the continent of Africa.

One of the characteristics that make African art unique and special is that the materials being used such as timber off the land has many natural imperfections. This combined with being hand-made result in every piece being truly a one-off piece of art.

Thank you for your time & support of true African families and community friends.
