| Description: | This four-panel wall hanging appliqué illustrates daily life in a rural village in Zambia, Africa. The maker placed a piece of paper inside one of the earthenware pots within the piece, which explains who the figures are and what they are doing. By giving those names, Timue and Tsala, and explaining their activities, she makes them real and testifies to their communities peaceful existence. We are offered a window into the day-to-day world of a country in a continent often beset by poverty and conflict. |
