The University of Miami's Department of Art and Art History and International curator Ludlowe Bailey present a Panel Discussion on “The role of Egyptology and Kemetic Philosophy in general in the development of Contemporary Africana Culture.” In preparing for the panel discussion today I came across a blog I created titled Multi Goddess in it I journal my dance musings and workshop participation and the paintings it inspired. Above is "Durga Kali Gaia Oshun Isis" painted after a BollyWood Indian dance workshop I participated it. I also realized that that my silhouette drawings on the Multi Goddess Blog later became jewelry pieces. The Book on Egyptian Yoga by Dr. Muata Ashby helps to explain the ancient Egyptian's way of being and how we can adopt and apply it in our lives. Yesterday at the University of Miami children from area schools were treated to a visual presentation on identity by New York artist Robin Holder as well as the creating of a vision board led by Ludlowe Bailey.
Durga-kali-gaia-oshun-isis body print inspired by the Hindu Goddess Kali, Kali is a manifestation of the Hindu Goddess Durga the goddess of material creation. Her Greek name is Gaia, her African name is Oshun and her Egyptian name is Isis. According to Dr. Love Kali is the destroyer of men's ego, she cuts off their heads and then revives them sexually
Blogger Pulsoma asked the question: "Hi. I'm very interested in the link your making between Isis and Oshun. How do you know it is the same deity? If you could help me clarify that... Thanks."
Blogger Divine said:"Dionysus and Shiva are the same... So are Oshun and Durga -- and both are the ass-kicking, demon-slaying goddesses to whom the other deities turned when dark entities were ravaging the earthly realm... Both answered fear with laughter. Fear is the lock and laughter the key to the heart... & love is always stronger than death."
