Chinua Achebe, renowned Nigerian novelist and literary theorist said, in his essay on Mbari, “Mbari was a celebration through art of the world and of life lived in it. It was performed by the community on command by its presiding deity, usually the Earth goddess, Ala, who combined two formidable roles in the Igbo pantheon as fountain of creativity in the world and custodian of the moral order in human society. The Mbari Club — a cultural centre for writers and artists co-founded in 1961 by Ulli Beier and others in Ibadan — was so named at Achebe’s suggestion. Mbari is a visual art form practiced by the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria consisting of a sacred two- story house constructed as a propitiatory rite. Mbari houses of the Owerri-Igbo, which are large opened-sided square planned shelters contain many life-sized, painted figures (sculpted in mud to appease the Alusi (deity) and Ala, the earth goddess, with other deities of thunder and water). Sometimes, however, other gods are represented along with Ala in the structure. Other sculptures which could be included are of officials, craftsmen, foreigners (mainly Europeans), animals, legendary creatures and ancestors. A ceremony is performed within the structure for a gathering of town leaders. After the ritual is complete, going in or even looking at the Mbari house is considered taboo. The building was not maintained and decayed in the elements. #chinuaachebe #writer #explore #explorenextdoor #explore #exploremore #explorecanada #travel #nigeria #igbo #culture #traditionalart #tradition #village #mbari #art #hdtartgallery #sculpure #district #youth

"Brass and parrot feathers on a velvet skin. White cowrie shells on black buttocks. Her eyes sparkle in the forest, like the sun on the river. She is the wisdom of the forest. She is the wisdom of the river. Where doctors failed, she cures with fresh water. Where medicine is impotent, she cures with cool water. She cures the child and does not charge the father. She feeds the barren woman with honey, and her dry body swells up like a juicy palm fruit. Oh how sweet is the touch of a child’s hand" - Osun Oriki, from "Yoruba Myths" by Ulli Beier 🌻 🍯 🐝 Odunde is always a beautiful convergence of spirit, ritual, and community. I'm grateful for another year to give praise and prayers to Osun. 🌻🍯🐝 #odunde #odundefestival #odundefestival2025 #oshun #ochun #yoruba #orisha #orisa

Arewa Asa Culturetainment founder Mrs. Solabomi Duro Ladipo - Akinsola @solabomiduroladipo from Osun Osogbo, daughter to dramatist and actor Late Chief Duro Ladipo. #arewaasaculturetainment Sponsored and promoted by #hrholuye #yorubaculturalambassador #soladuroladipo Durodola Durosomo Duroorike Timothy Adisa Ladipo // ⓘ(18 December 1926 – 11 March 1978), more commonly known as Duro Ladipo, was one of the best known and critically acclaimed Yoruba dramatists who emerged from postcolonial Africa. Writing solely in the Yoruba language, he captivated the symbolic spirit of Yoruba mythologies in his plays, which were later adapted to other media such as photography, television and cinema. His most famous play, Ọba kò so (The King did not Hang), a dramatization of the traditional Yoruba story of how Ṣango became the Orisha of Thunder, received international acclaim at the first Commonwealth Arts Festival in 1965 and on a Europe an tour, where a Berlin critic, Ulli Beier, compared Ladipọ to Karajan.[1] Ladipo usually acted in his own plays. #wikipedia
