Connecting to culture through body art with Joy Crookes, Nish Rowe, and Sabira Haque
Both are at the crossroads of bodies and art, but originate from different cultures and have different histories, which have now taken on new meanings in today’s society. Henna is steeped in traditions from the Arabian Penninsula, Indian subcontinent and the North & horn of Africa. However today what does Henna mean? When did Henna become so popular outside of its traditional usage, and is it solely connected to religion? Tattoos are an old tradition dating as far back as 2000 BC, with Egypt's international trade spreading the practice across the world. But today what does having a tattoo mean? What are the social norms and judgement that come with having tattoos? Is it culture vulturing to get tattoos from another culture/language than you identify with? We discuss this and all questions relating to these forms of body art, how they relate to an individual's cultural self-expression and perceptions outside of their traditional communities. #UnprettyPodcast Unpretty Podcast https://www.instagram.com/unprettypodcast/ https://twitter.com/unprettypodcast Joy Crookes https://www.joycrookes.com/ https://www.instagram.com/joycrookes/ Sabira Haque https://www.instagram.com/huqthat/ https://www.facebook.com/huqthat/ https://twitter.com/huqthat Nish Rowe https://www.instagram.com/nish_rowe_tattoo/ Hosted on Acast.
