African Legends. “Have you ever seen a man with white hair?

2 МАР 2021   African Legends. “Have you ever seen a man with white hair? http://binovskaya.com/the-sacred-story-of-the-tree-of-life/ I was very lucky to touch unexpectedly the origins of the beliefs of the African people and I will share with you such legends, one might say the history of the creation of the world, one might say the African Bible, which you will not find anywhere else. How wonderful to know that Africans, hundreds and millions of inhabitants of this beautiful continent, still believe, regardless of age, that white people never mate in the same way that white women do not give birth to their children with the same pain as “ mamanas give birth to their picanins ”. White women, in their understanding, lay their shiny glass eggs so that their little “BVANAS” hatch out of them immediately the next day. Many Africans believe in the divine and terrible power of Whites. They believe that white people are the children of huge natural flowers that grow somewhere beyond the “...

Image
https://nladesignvisual.wordpress.com/tag/credo-vusamazulu-mutwa/ Wusamazulu Credo Mutwa   (July 21, 1921 – March 25, 2020) was a Zulu sangoma (traditional healer) from South Africa. He is known as the author of books based on African mythology, traditional Zulu folklore, extraterrestrial encounters and his personal experiences. His last work was a graphic novel called   The Tree of Life Trilogy , based on the writing of his most famous book,   Indaba My Children . In 2018, he was awarded the USIBA award by the South African Ministry of Arts and Culture for his work in Indigenous Wisdom. Credo referred to himself as sanusi (common spelling isanuse), which is a variation of the Zulu soothsayer or sangoma. The term dates back to more historical times and is not widely used today, even in traditional settings. Credo lived with his wife Virginia in Kuruman, where they had a hospice. This is official information about this person, and Babalva told me other details that he knew...

Meeting with Babalwa Baartman Quata. http://binovskaya.com/category/african-legends/ In 2014, I had an interesting meeting with African girls Babalwa and her friend Kaniy Mavi. The girls found me through social media posts. They said that they really liked my art and they want to offer cooperation. We met at the Waterfront and had a good conversation. Some time ago, my friend Maria Guzen told me about a very unusual man named Kredo Mutwa, he was considered, at that time, he was still alive, an African soothsayer. The girls took me to a bookstore and showed me his English book. There, thanks to them, I saw an album of two masters of photography Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher - I will tell about all my new acquaintances in separate stories. And now about Babalva. It turned out that the owners of one of the well-known companies of Akkerman supermarket owners organized a business school for South Africans. After completing free education at this school, each person gets the opportunity t...

Cape Town. Green Point Carnival.

Image
https://youtu.be/OkSAirWcqvY I have always dreamed of visiting Brazil and I perfectly understand that the carnival in Cape Town is only a small part of the excitement before the action, but it’s wonderful. I already told you that there are two annual carnivals in Cape Town – the Minstrel Carnival and the Green Point Carnival. Today I have edited all my views into one film for you and you can enjoy with me to the full what happens during the carnival. I will only add that the places are occupied long before the start and everyone is looking forward to the procession and not only waiting but also having fun dancing and having fun   Карнавал     на Грин Поинте -2014 года.     2013 –   http://binovskaya.com/cape-town-carnival/ Как же я люблю карнавалы!   Я всегда мечтала побывать в Бразилии и прекрасно понимаю то, что карнавал в Кейптауне это только маленькая часть восторга перед действом, но и это замечательно. Я уже рассказывала вам о том, что в Кейптаун...

Traveler painting. Life in Ukraine.

Image
Traveler painting. http://binovskaya.com/traveler-painting/ Last summer I had an unexpected commission to paint a Swiss landscape. Clients sent photos and I did the job for them. There was a referral. Usually my works are purchased through Art Platforms and it is they who organize the shipment through the DCL company. I invited clients to contact the company, but they failed. Then I decided to use our Ukrainian Post. I made an export permit in the expert commission, bought a package and sent it. I had a number by which I tracked the movement, of course, I did not count on urgency. Time passed and the parcel reached Switzerland and I began to wait for the reaction of buyers. But she was not and was not. I decided to take another look at the tracking and found that it had been sent back. After waiting for the return, I tried to find out the reason for what happened. Nobody explained anything to me. Of course, I also paid the cost of the return. My daughter Rada advised me to contact UkrP...

My beautiful Charlotte!

Charlotte is my beautiful fairy. http://binovskaya.com/12518-2/ https://youtu.be/E3298mE2vA0 How happy I am that I could be by your side while you were growing up. Now you are already an independent person, but in all your actions and achievements, I see Radu, who was always there and divided all your days and nights. Painting classes on Fresnaye have borne fruit and if you want you can become an artist, you are doing well. Or maybe you will become a singer or an actress? You sang so beautifully and memorized melodies and lyrics from children's films surprisingly quickly. You are brave and courageous and are not afraid of trials. You probably remember the little house in Green Point Park where you had tea ceremonies - it was so cool. How about getting there now? I wonder how things have changed there? And the trips on the children's Blue Express to Sea Ponte? You and Benny enjoyed it very much. And of course dumplings - it was our real ritual with you. And the dress of the hero...
