Artist Statement:
"Concept
Art become the important part of human life. The ideas of art have to point to the peace and make all human being live together with understanding each other. Those push me invol-ving in every object which is shot. It is natural, if I have been involved in so many art activities that I can more undestand and take comprehension about the ecology, social and the deepest sense of art. "

| Description: | Ceremonies
The importance of ceremonies in African society, as in other societies, can be seen as one moves through a typical life cycle. These ceremonies announce changes in one's social status and social relationships with those in the community. Many things about the dances change when they are brought to the stage from their original context in village life. For example, in Africa most dances take place as rituals in which the entire village participates. The dancers are not on a stage, but are interacting directly with the rest of the people. The people watching are not sitting in seats in an audience, but may sing, play and dialogue with the musicians and dancers. Ceremonies are socially approved methods of participating in pleasurable activities such as music, arts, song, dance and other forms of expression. | | hits: | 125 | | Added on: | 18-Jun-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | The History of the Wanaragua Dance.Honduras.
The origin of this masked dance dates back to the epoch in which the Gar?funa inhabited Saint Vincent Island (XVII-XIX century). In those days, the British colonizers infiltrated the island, setting their sight on the huge expansions of land and the local work force, the Black Carib. These Gar?funa ancestors resisted imperialist attacks and engaged in armed conflict with the British. This dance readopts the disguise that the Gar?funa warrior utilized as a strategic defense against British forces. It is a celebration of their military victories.

(Dancers in the Cham Ceremony )
Tibetan Buddhism, as it is commonly known in the West, is in strange times. It is disemboweled in Tibet, diluted in Sikkim, in exile in India, under wraps in Bhutan, trendy in America, and existing with some freedom and authenticity especially in Ladakh, a semi-autonomous region of Himalayan India. Perhaps its greatest threat today is unbridled western commercialism, the most pervasive force for the destruction of cultures in Asia.
