Ancestral Art - II.

From our Arts and Crafts exhibition in Bergen made by the children and young people from the Hummingbird Project in São Paulo. The exhibition also included work from Hummingbird's Artist friends, like this wonderful ancestral mask titled Oxumarê, depicting the God of transformation Yorubá with the sacred Python, made by Sandro Lumumba in support of CARF's work in Brazil.

This was just one of three galleries of almost 100 square metres each, free space lent to us in a 200-year old commercial building undergoing restoration in the city of Bergen.
This was the scene for three major exhibitions organized by CARF during our cultural exchange with the city, who's population has supported our social development project in Brazil for the last 16 years.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out during the exhibitions and for the free loan of these premises and lighting equipment to realise them. A great success!
