I love ancient Islamic caligraphy & as an amateur photographer I also enjoy looking at the work of accomplished professional photographers comme Lalla Essaydi.She was born in Maroc, she lived in Saudia Arabia and in America , her diverse background allows her to have an interesting grasp on the western and arabic cultural paradoxes. The shooting for her project ” Les femmes du Maroc” took place in a her family home back in Maroc specifically in a room reserved by the family men for punishment for the family’s women.In one of her interviews she describes herself primarly as a painter, further she explains that one picture may take 6 monts for preparion spent on drawing caligraphy words on fabric and on the walls. Part of her work is inspired by male orientalist work and her perspectives on those male/female complicated arabic relationships. She was quoted as saying on http://www.kashyahildebrand.org:“My work …

Posté par Fabulafricana
So it’s over now (remenber that 112 song) ,our new President Macky Sall was sworn in this morning April 2nd 2012.As I’m posting this little note ,Youssou N’dour is hosting a huge concert at the Place de L’Obelisque where most demonstrations took place where we lost martyrs like Mamadou Diop, where the Senegalese people screamed and shouted their desire for a new governement , all wasn’t in vain, Allah heard us and today is a new day, happy new year Senegal lol! I didn’t share with you that I took part into the women’s protest march lead by a courageous woman Hadja Ba (big ups to you sis!) It was an amazing moment that almost didn’t take place, the police present at the place didn’t want to allow us to protest, it took the presence of former political candidate Bamba Dieye for us to go on! I was so proud …

2012TAM , Phenomenal Dance & Music Show!
Posté par Fabulafricana
In the name of Allah! Good morning everyone, hope all is good !Yesterday I had a phenomenal time at the TAM show that took place at the Centre Culturel Francais de Dakar, it was just superr! The show was created over the span of one year by Ghanaian musician/dj/cultural activist Igor (Eclectica). While living in his native Ghana during his childhood, he was nourished with the traditional sounds of women pounding mil, briklayers, people drinking tea in the streets, bref he was inspired by all the harmonious noise you find yourself listening to in rural areas.. It was a beautiful exciting show, he hired tradional and hip hop dancers to take us on a journey, a bridge between our traditions and our modern life of today. The dancers worked for 2 months but when you look at the show they are so professional and so into it that it seems …
