LeoAfricanus.net

Welcome to www.LeoAfricanus.net

This web-site -- like the African continent, its many peoples and the
world of which they are a part -- is a complex of evolving processes.

The site is born from the premise that objects that emerge from the
African continent are messengers of meaning. When viewed and
explored with a desire to see them as the products and expressions
of varied human experiences and environments, the objects
provide a starting point to know the people, places, histories and
societies through which they have journeyed thus far and
ourselves.

Beadwork in the ZULU cultural tradition.

Those who have travelled in South Africa and spent some of their time in the province of KwaZulu/Natal, might have been fortunate enough to have seen something of the colourful beadwork for which the Zulu in that part of the country are well known. Decorative beadwork is sold at many outlets in the region and in major centres throughout the countery, where some of these beaded trinkets have been offered to souvenir huners as "Zulu love letters". To appreciate the true significance of traditional Zulu beadwork, however, one has to understand how effectively the Zulu have integrated social values into their arts and crafts. Traditional colours, colour combinations and patterns are still found in modern Zulu beadwork but the real eloquence is rapidly subsiding under the pressures of urbanization and culture change.

The goal of this site is to share my enthusiasm with a larger audience. Hopefully this will encourage you to explore these fascinating subjects on your own, in depth. I've found that using art as a vehicle for knowledge not only adds an element of joy, but mystery and even awe. It can stimulate minds and imaginations in ways a dry history text simply cannot. Exploring the site might expand your horizons beyond your back yard, and the local news, and leave you wanting more. Read on, and prepare to be surprised. One note on navigating the site.
