There's just something not right with these pictures. Great work of art no doubt, but they just kill the actual cultural heritage of the Yoruba tribe even more. Since when is OLORUN a young sexy man with tattoos? Since when is being sexy and having 6 packs a sign of power in Yoruba culture? Of course i'm not an historian, but i'm fairly certain 6 packs, youth, and being half n.aked is so not synonymous with any typical African god. Achilles, Thor, Hercules etc might have been widely accepted that way, but please let's appreciate true preservation of history, not some fake nude art My Opinion anyway 3 Likes |
