what a great little museum! tucked away on the ucla campus... who knew it was there? -- and with such treasures inside!! I love both the Tuareg and the Intersections exhibits.. true desert dwellers- wow-- I want to ride a camel!!! check it out soon-- freefreefree! ******************************************************** October 29, 2006 to February 25, 2007 The “art” of being Tuareg, a semi-nomadic people of Niger, Mali, and Algeria, has fascinated travelers and scholars alike throughout history. The elegance and beauty of the Tuareg peoples—their dress and exquisite ornament, their large white riding camels, their refined song, speech, and dance—all have been subjects of rhapsodic descriptions that suggest a Tuareg “mystique.” Art of Being Tuareg, the first major U.S. exhibition on Tuareg art and culture, considers the history and evolution of these peoples by exploring silver jewelry, leather works including purses, bags, and saddles, and other highly decorated items crafted by them. - brooklyn , posted 11/03/06 |
