In a recent presentation at PAMM, curator and historian Henry Skerritt quoted colleague Ian McLean. The land and community life of the Australian desert from which the “No Boundaries” artists draw their inspiration are far removed from South Florida, but culture’s core engagement traverses continents. What happens if you’ve been collecting contemporary art for more than 30 years and find yourselves stymied by the increasing dominance of oversize personalities and money? For Debra and Dennis Scholl, it has meant looking to communities of Australian Aboriginal artists to replenish their passion for discovery, research, acquisition and sharing - without giving up entirely on collecting from other regions of the world.Ī segment of their collection, specifically the paintings of nine tribal elders who all began painting late in life (and mostly died within the past decade), comprises a traveling exhibition, “No Boundaries,” currently on view at Pérez Art Museum Miami. The Marende: These are scars of beauty, elegance which consist in two or three horizontal lines on the forehead. Marende term returns to marense (Sonrhaï origin of dyers) which is a socio-professional category of moose.The relationship with this social stratum was not evident in explanations of tradition bearers Manga. But also the reference to marense is very likely. 2. The wiifu of Nakombga: these are the scars exlusively reserved for princes which consists of two facial scars from the cheek to the chin one right, one left 3. The lemde or scarification chin is in the form of a cross on the chin 4. The dedendga is a form of scarring that is vertically and horizontally rotate three scars left and right cheeks. All these scars are made by a specialist scarifying.‘Bloodlines,’ ‘No Boundaries’ cross common paths at PAMM Admittedly scarification allowed to reveal the identity value individual Moaaga. Thus, one could recognize a noble (Nakombga), a commoner (Talga), a Busanga etc.Il must say that time Naba Oubri a Moaaga scarified was saved from slavery, torture and abuses and thus benefited from protection. scarification social importance in Moose Manga Scars allowed social classification dividing society into nobles, princes or slaves depending on the type of scars that you wear. 1.

It is unfortunate that many Africans have also bought into this cultural imperialist propaganda against tribal marks and other marks on the body of an African.Įthnic scars are forms of culture and art that African peoples have developed. In almost every sixty ethnic groups in Burkina Faso, we find that cultural value appears as an identity card but also a work of art with its meanings and aesthetic values. Deaf / dumb kids etc., were tribal marked for quick identification especially when such need assistance in public. Today, in the Western world many people are also piercing their bodily parts (including tongue, lips, navel, clitoris, penis, breast, eyebrows et al) and inserting it with various rings as a sign of high class culture and they turn around to accuse Africans who mark their body for various valid historical, cultural, medical, religious and aesthetic reasons. Taken in Eastern Sudan,close to EthiopiaĪs a matter of fact I take strong exception to the marks on African indigenes as "Scarification." It was is the Westerners way of undermining everything African and making it look ugly and an un-civilize practice. They are divided to many main branches and every branch have a different marks("Shluh")on their faces.She has also unique black tatoo on her lips.
