| Synopsis: |
The continent of Africa has one of the richest and most vibrant arrays of costume and body adornment in the world. From the glittering blue veils of the desert Tuareg tribe to the magnificent lion's-mane headdresses of the Masai warriors, from the tall headwraps of Senegal to the beaded bodices of the Dinka tribe, there is a wealth of costume that belies harsh lives of poverty, and bears witness to the enduring creative spirit of the African people. "Africa" explores the divers costumes and cultures from every corner of the African continent, including: the Berber tribes of North Africa and their ancient costume that dates back to Roman and medieval Arab times; the unique religious culture and costume of the Ethiopian Amhara people in the Horn of Africa, as well as those of the Oromo and Afar people; the Masai, Rendille, and Dinka of East Africa, who fashion hairstyles with dow dung and scar their faces and bodies in patterns according to ancient rituals; and, the breathtaking textiles of West Africa and the exotic dress of South African tribal people, including the Zulu. |
