💜🎨#ArtIsAWeapon dubem | The Lord Is My Shepherd, 2021 #Artist REWA @artbyrewa www.artbyrewa.com • ⠀ Reposted from @artbyrewa In Igbo land, there is great significance in a name – a name is more than just an appellation or a stamp of identity. Our names bear a message, a meaning, a story, a life experience or a prayer. They embody a collective of the Igbo’s people’s rich heritage and provide a window into our value systems and life philosophies. dubem translates into “God guide me”. As dubem leaves the land of his ancestors, he seeks guidance from his Chi, the personal god of the Igbos that presides over each individual’s destiny.⠀ • ⠀ i’je awel’le: A Beauty Journey, A Safe Journey is currently on view at the @jonathanferraragallery in New Orleans⠀ • ⠀ For all inquiries: [email protected]⠀ • ⠀ #REWA #artbyREWA #AfricanArtists #Igbo #BlackGirlArtGeeks #Exhibit #NewOrleans #WillTravelForArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgPPmmhXwo/?utm_medium=tumblr
