CEREMONI
In cultures all over the world we find examples of how creativity pays an important role in ceremonial activities. In worshiping certain rituals are being held and here an individual may strengthen their boundaries to their tradition, tribes and beliefs. In practicing, you often make a sacrifice and sacrifices can have many forms, – one way to make an offering may be to make use of artistic skill.
This variation of forms in ritual worshiping has been of a great interest for many western artists such as Picasso and has served as an inspiration in their own art. With a background from western art tradition this project examines our own roots living in a modern world where questions about motherhood and coming generations have been central.
Aesthetical expressions have been inspirited by ceremonial creativity around the world, such as “despachs” in south America and the god/goddess Legba in Africa.
