WOMEN POWER - ETHIOPIA Painting

Women Power, Black and Yollow, Ethiopia... Ethiopia is considered one of the oldest areas of human occupation in the world, if not the largest, according to some scientific findings. In the same way as indigenous civilizations in Brazil, African tribal populations also use body painting as an important cultural expression usually linked to religiosity and hierarchical positions in the group. Each people uses certain types of painting depending on the occasion and the different rituals they perform. The peoples of the Omo River Valley, located in southern Ethiopia, are known as masters of body painting. These populations still manage to preserve this tradition as they keep themselves safe from contact with western civilizations. In this way, their customs are still very similar to those of their ancestors. Normally, African peoples use pigments extracted from plant saps, volcanic rocks, clays of different colors, among other natural elements, as paints. In the West, African art was used as a reference and inspiration in European modernism, especially in Cubism.
