    Learning from Africa

    July 3, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Africa has long been a source of fascination for people from the West. From Cy Endfield’s 1964 classic film Zulu starring Michael Caine and Stanley Baker, to Disney’s The Lion King, from Elton John crooning The Circle of Life, to Shakira’s foot-tapping World Cup anthem This Time for Africa*, the land of our origins still maintains a deep hold over our thoughts and is firmly embedded into our culture. When we look at Africa, we see a myriad of possibilities, destinations, languages, cultures, politics, wildlife, levels of wealth and poverty, violence and peace, landscapes, and geography.

    Where’s The Respect?

    March 28, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Animals:  We keep them as pets; use them for food, clothing, and transportation; we travel thousands of miles to see them on safari; gawk at them in zoos; revere them in certain religions; abhor them and call them vermin; experiment on them for medicine and for beauty; work alongside them in certain jobs; use them therapeutically; compete them; bet on them; cage them; free them; hurt them; heal them; study them; and learn from them. They truly are deeply ingrained into our way of life, and have been since the dawn of time. Our treatment of our (usually) four-legged friends, as a society, differs greatly from one country to the…

    Die Meister des Chaos

    June 21, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Afrika – bei dem Gedanken an diesen Kontinent packt mich die Reiselust. Ägypten, der Nil, die Sahara, Safaris, das bunte Leben Kapstadts, aber auch Elfenbein und Blutdiamanten fallen mir bei meinem spontanen Brainstorming ein. Aber was wissen wir in Europa wirklich über das Leben in Afrika, Traditionen, Rituale, Kunstwerke und deren Bedeutung? Persönlich verbinde ich mit diesem Kontinent immer auch etwas Mystisches, vor allem mit seinen Urvölkern, ihrer Lebensweise und ihren Medizinmännern. Würde ich mich freiwillig in die Hände eines Schamanen begeben und mich damit seinen mir unbekannten Ritualen hingeben? Wäre der Respekt vor dem Unbekannten, vielleicht auch Angsteinflößendem, nicht größer als die Neugierde? Mit Schamane meine ich hier einen…
