What a great selection at the museum! I read that Congolese art features statuary in a pose we know in the States: From Congolese law suits, if a woman disagrees with an opponent's testimony, she'll stand with one hand on her hip, one arm extended, her palm raised to block out her adversary, her head turned away. Yep, "talk to the hand," and it is a pose so common in Congolese art, they have a specific name for it. I cannot recall it!!!
@@ethansharrettofficial Haha! No Kidding! I about fell over. Baton twirling, in the South and in Cuba, the author says goes back to Congo. The book I read about it was "Four Moments of the Sun: Kongo Art in Two Worlds" (historians seem to like Kongo with a K for the precolonial kingdom)
Brian thanks so much for saying that!! You know nobody likes their own voice, haha. I enjoy trying to put together experiences in that way and its awesome you watched. Hope you're good!
Lol. You got that too! Thats the thing, the art of that category of buddhism is almost counterproductive to outsiders. It all represents things going on within an individual to overcome ego, indulgence, confusion, and live in peace and gratitude. It has turnef primal instincts and obstacles to inner peace into visual metaphors that look like terrifying beasts! To a passerby It obscures the throughline of pursuing inner freedom behind these scary things lol. But what I got myself is that there is NO mythology as it appears, but art illustrating an intimate process, a process with a quite specific goal: an awakened mind.

Is that true? Congolese Law! Your honor, counsel moves to request plaintiff to speak to the hand✋

Omg I actually found someone who taped it
It wasnt what i expected, but it was awesome and I could discuss it all day what did you think?
Cool!
The colors were stunning. You commentary and your response to the art was also great. You have a great voice, ideal for this narration.
