  • Smiling head and shoulder portrait of Jamaican African American Rastafarian posing for the camera in NYC.<br />
<br />
Rastafari is a religion which developed in Jamaica in the 1930s, following the coronation of Haile Selassie I as Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930. Its adherents worship him in much the same way as Jesus in his Second Advent, or as God the Son.  Members of the Rastafari way of life are known as Rastafari, Rastas, Rastafarians, or simply Ras<br />
<br />
The Rastafari way of life encompasses the spiritual use of cannabis and the rejection of the degenerate society of materialism, oppression, and sensual pleasures, called Babylon. It proclaims Zion, in reference to Ethiopia, as the original birthplace of humankind, and from the beginning of the way of life calls for repatriation to Zion, the Promised Land and Heaven on Earth.

"Uili Lousi resonates in global cosmic transformation. The symmetrical, complex and intricate Tongan patterns, abstracted in rhythm, synchronicity, harmony and ultimately Godly Beauty, form the basis of Uili Lousi's work.<br />
<br />
Uili weaves all of his experiences into his artistic practice to create a vibrancy in his work that is described as ENERGY.  His work depicts the stillness of FATA-'O-TU'I-TONGA (TONGAN ROYAL MOTIFS), in Motion and Non-Motion. <br />
<br />
The repetitive motifs create a visual matrix and present a dialectical process of transition from traditional to contemporary and representation to abstraction.  He expresses that it is like a fire that has no smoke and does not burn.  It is just an inner mounting flame that only illuminates and is at peace with the soul."

  • Portrait of Mexican (smiling)  Acatlan woman folk  dancer, member of The Danza De Tecuanes Acatlan Puebla.<br />
<br />
The dance of the tecuanis is staged in the states of warrior and people, represents the work of the peasants when dismantling and preparing the planting and its fight against the tiger. Tecuanis pretend first to dedicate themselves to their labors, then narrate the tiger's outrages, making jocular improvised allusions about well-known people of the town, that provoke great rejoicing among the spectators, and the search for the animal begins until once the tiger hunts and dies. <br />
<br />
In this dance, the Chichimeca and Zapoteca tribes join forces to defeat the tiger, or Tecuani (Náhuatl for people eater) that attacks their flocks. They are led by the huehues (elders) Moranchi and Lucas, who wear red and blue hats, respectively.<br />
<br />
The Zapoteca and Chichimeca make two lines and dance and shout to the rhythm of the music.<br />
<br />
Besides them, there is a gallery of characters who help or hinder their efforts: the Devil, who tempts them; the Witch, who helps them with remedies; Death, who will ultimately kill the Tecuani. And there’s also a dog, a bull and a donkey.<br />
<br />
But the Tiger, or Tecuani, is the central figure in the dance. Much like the Devil in the traditional Christmas plays called pastorelas, though supposedly an intimidating character, he actually jokes around with the children and the rest of the audience. He wields a whip to go after his captors and get everyone to ridicule them.
