“The more women onboard a slave ship, the more likely a revolt” - Rebecca Hall

"The repatriation is both an apology for the destruction caused by #FrenchColonialism and a reassertion of its power. It is a reclamation of meaningful cultural objects and a funeral for a culture that no longer exists. It is a joyful celebration and a savage insult."

On #MatiDiop's #Dahomey

« Le 10 novembre 2021, 26 œuvres d’art étaient restituées à la République du #Bénin, 26 trésors royaux du Dahomey pillés par les troupes coloniales françaises à la fin du XIXe siècle. C'est ce rapatriement que documente #Dahomey, le deuxième long métrage de la cinéaste franco-sénégalaise #MatiDiop. Dahomey, sacré de l'Ours d'or à la dernière Berlinale. »

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. Papa #Legba, a god or lwa often represented as a phallus or as a horned man with a prominent phallus, is the youngest son of #Mawu. It is only through contact with Legba that it becomes possible to contact the other gods, for he is the guardian at the door of the spirits. #PapaLegba originated in the historic West African kingdom of #Dahomey in present-day #Benin.
