Ubuntu Interconnectedness Folk Art Motif
$2.50
Description
Desmond Tutu (1931-2021) was an Anglican archbishop and human rights activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent opposition to apartheid in South Africa. The profound statement "Ubuntu: I am because we are" encapsulates the essential human tension between individual identity and collective existence, asserting that one's selfhood is inextricably linked to the community. Desmond Tutu championed this philosophy as a cornerstone of reconciliation and shared humanity in the face of systemic division. The vibrant, intricate folk-art style, rich with symbolic elements like the sun, peacocks, and lotus flowers, visually amplifies this message of harmony and interconnectedness.
