A lesson that I really enjoyed! you have talked about so many arguments that need to be scrutinized, so many topics to be researched and discussed that blows my simple mind. The first association that I superficially made was about Louis XIV, the sun king of France, who danced, acted, and performed on stage not only in front of the gallic noblesse but also the entire population. At least this was his aim. There was certainly a bit of exhibitionism and vanity present, and there was also the strong political desire of a ruler who really wanted to be accessible to all the Frenchmen ( remember: we were in the XVII century) because he wanted to show himself as the "Dieudonne" that his name implied. Back in your lecture, those guys were working politically, socially, and religiously: far from home they could express their culture in the present and openly, directly to the audiences. No need to hide, They could talk about their tradition and believes, as many rulers have done before them. About industrial colors, you spoke about modernity, I simply reed decadence! In this case, I should recall the byzantine painting procedure=philosophy, but it would cost me too much time & space, so I live it alone...Thank you again for your presentation, I will bookmark it because I m really enthusiast about it. Last thing: Don't you see in this belt a bit of Medusa?
As someone born in the kwakwaka'wakw nation (who knows a bit about other cultures around the world) I can somewhat tell what the sisiutł means. It’s kinda like a ying and yang with a human in the middle as, we are neither good or bad, we are in the middle
I was just talking to my dear friend, (Google's) Bard about running, so that's a funny little coincidence. 🙃 I believe this is the first ceremonial belt I've seen on this channel, so that's automatically interesting - a great way to finish yet another great playlist. I can't believe it! Potlatches sound like a good time. I wouldn't mind seeing one in action.. Apparently Canada would! I was taken aback to hear about their ban on potlaches - thank goodness it was reversed. People are silly, so I'm not surprised by the foolery at the end of this, lol.
@@smarthistory-art-history 🥰 Of course I did. There was a lot of interesting material to learn as always, but it's a little bittersweet clearing another playlist... I'm always a little concerned about how many videos I have left now, lol. ❤️
Goodness Kwakwaka'wakw and Tlingit Art are such beautiful artifacts- so happy they are being recorded and analysed in modern art history...

So glad you watched the ARCHES playlist, it's such important material and the experts we worked with were amazing.

We hope to have a 8 new videos in the coming weeks all from a geographic area where we have almost nothing.
Ooo, my hopes are your hopes, lol. I'm excited to see them. 😌@@smarthistory-art-history
