Kenyan literature is heavily influenced by oral tradition and focuses on themes of colonization, war, education, love, and family. Most authors write in Swahili, English, or Gikuyu. Famous Kenyan authors include Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Chinua Achebe, and Isak Dinesen. Kenyan art depicts ocean life, wildlife, cultural practices, and relationships between communities through a focus on adornment and beauty. Dance is an important part of rituals and celebrations, with unique styles varying between tribes but most incorporating drumming.

Houska: Boy Scout Koshare Dancers Need to Stop Stealing From Natives
Tara Houska • February 12, 2016
It’s an honor. Respect. Appreciation. Tradition. You just don’t understand. So go the familiar excuses made for appropriating culture to the objecting group.
The Boy Scouts are a prime ongoing example of this phenomenon, but perhaps reevaluation will lead to change. In mid-December, the “Koshare Dancers,” a so-called interpretive dance group from Boy Scout Troop 232, located in La Junta, Colorado, cancelled their Winter Dances at the request of the Hopi Nation Cultural Preservation Office. Whether this is permanent remains to be seen.

Since the 1930s, the Koshare Dancers of Boy Scout Troup 232 have been performing their version of Hopi, Lakota, Kiowa, Ojibwe, Blackfoot, Diné and Comanche religious ceremonies. Originally begun by James “Buck” Burshears as the “Boy Scout Indian Club,” mimicking Native American cultures became a core theme of Troup 232.
New members are called “Papooses,” and work toward the rank of “Koshare Brave,” which requires that troops learn five Koshare dances and create their version of traditional regalia. “Clan Chief” follows, upon reaching the rank of Eagle Scout.
Objections by Native Americans have punctuated the history of the Koshare Dancers. As reported by Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, in the early 1950s a scout named Charlie Nickerson sought to include a Zuni dance he had read of in the Smithsonian’s Bureau of American Ethnology series, called the Shalako. Photos of the troop engaging in the religious ceremony clad in mock regalia reached the nearby Zuni.
Tribal leaders were so angered they called upon the local Indian Commissioner to file a report and threatened to close their reservation borders. Thinking he coul ...

THE SYNERGY BETWEEN TRADITIONAL “ULI” BODY PAINTING SYMBOLS AND DIGITAL ART.ikennaaghanya
For centuries, Africa has been home to a multitude of societies with different cultural landscapes, social structures, and strongly defined aesthetic ideals. In the absence of the written word, Africa’s legacy consists of a vast mélange of complex symbols, patterns, and signs. These aesthetically abstract configurations and unique characters replaced linguistic symbols commonly used for recording the history of remarkable events, the deeds of great kings, celebrations, births and deaths, and extraordinary occurrences. Mary Nooter Robert in Inscribing Identity: The Body, suggests “symbols that replaced letters or characters represent the sounds of a language, a logographic system in which a single character represents a word” (Robert 2007:57). Therefore, Africa has contributed to the world a rich tradition of typography; from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, to rock inscriptions found throughout the Sahara Desert, as well as rock paintings and drawings in the Tassili Plateau of the Atlas Mountains in the Fezzan). In fact, the rich diversity of esoteric symbols throughout Africa has inspired both craftsmen and artists for centuries. They have refashioned the antiquated and unique into contemporary forms, which now appear etched on pottery, cast on bronze and precious metals, carved on wood, woven into textiles, stitched on cloth, or inscribed on the human body.
The presentation answers the following question: If all of the world´s cultural heritage (sports, music, fashion, architecture, literature, painting, etc..) was contained in a time capsule, what would you include to demonstrate the legacy of your country?

5. Dance Kenyan dance is centered around their ritualistic festivities. Many different tribes have their own specific, unique style of dance. The Masai tribe, for example, has an outrageous dance for after a lion kill. Almost all dances are centered around the beats of the drums. The bottom picture depicts the Sikuti dance. This dance is entirely based on the drums and involves various types of jumps. Most tribes, especially the Kamba and Chuka, use a specific drumming style where the tall drum is bent forward and squeezed between the thighs. Warriors demonstrate their agility by showing how far they can vertically leap during dances.
