This Preposterous installation is called “The beginning of the end of history.” The installation was a pre-opening exposure for the people of Agla in Benin before the main exhibition. Beninois artist Roland Akouèdénoudjè said this exhibition was to give opportunity to children to learn about his exhibition.
African artists are amazingly telling stories with waste objects. Roland’s exhibition really gives an understanding as how Africans can use the very things we do not regard to tell our own stories from different angles.

Are you okay, Tumblr?
By Yoshitoshi Kanemaki, these astounding hand-carved camphor wood sculptures are chiselled out by the Japanese artist and have an brilliant eerie realism. The detail on the skulls are inspired, I want one so badly.
These are creepy and very very cool

Dizem as vozes do povo que a rapariga vianesa (de Viana do Castelo) é airosa e de maior formosura.

2. Princesa Ana. Princess Ana.
Nestas terras a norte, dizem as vozes antigas que havia um castelo. A filha do rei, uma linda princesa de nome Ana, raramente aparecia nas grandes janelas do castelo. Um dia, um rapaz que por ali passava viu a princesa e, numa alegria desmedida, correu pelas ruas da cidade a contar: Vi Ana do Castelo! Vi Ana do Castelo! E foi assim que surgiu o nome desta bela cidade: Viana do castelo. Peça única, feita à mão com materiais naturais, reaproveitados e reciclados.
In these lands of the north, ancient voices say that there was a castle. The king’s daughter, a beautiful princess named Ana, rarely appeared in the large windows of the castle. One day, a young man who passed by saw the princess, and in a boundless joy, he ran through the streets of the town telling everyone: I saw Ana from the Castle! I saw Ana from the Castle! And that was how the name of this beautiful city born: Viana do Castelo. Handmade and unique piece made with natural materials, recycled and reutilized.

3. Gigantone.
Os gigantones, com roupas de cerimónia ou populares, dançam ao som dos bombos e tambores nas festas e romarias portuguesas. São manuseados por uma pessoa no seu interior e, os mais pequenos, podem personificar monstros ou demónios. A cabeça dos gigantones e cabeçudos é feita em pasta de papel e é grande e desproporcionada relativamente ao corpo. E quando dançam… é tempo de festa! Peça única, feita à mão com materiais naturais, reaproveitados e reciclados.
The gigantones with ceremony clothes or popular, dance to the sound of drums and barrels in Portuguese festivities. Are handled by a person inside, and the little ones can personify monsters or demons. The head of gigantones and big heads are made of paper pulp and is large and disproportionate in relation to the body. When they dance… it’s party time! Handmade and unique piece made with natural materials, recycled and reutilized.

Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you’re supposed to. Stay home on New Year’s Eve if that’s what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story.
