If you would like to learn more about Africa, you’ve come to the right place.
I am the owner and head Mama at MamaAfrika.com Mama Afrika sells fair trade art, crafts and foods which are made in Africa by women’s cooperatives. Fair trade means more than fair wages. It means safe working conditions, investment in local communities, building schools, water wells and women controlling their own futures. One of the other things we do at Mama Afrika is education about Africa. This blog will feature discussions about African art, traditions, customs and cultures. My hope is to create a space where we can have interesting dialogs about “all things African”. Feel free to join in!
Sadly the vast majority of Westerners tend to view African art as trinkets, curios and ubiquitous stone carvings of stylized wildlife.
At our site we have attempted to weed these out and present what, in our opinion anyway, is fine art. We feel these artists, many of whom are from Zimbabwe and other poorer countries, deserve wider exposure.
