About the Artwork

"The Maasai"

The Maasai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group native to East Africa, primarily found in Kenya and Tanzania.

Known for their distinctive customs, colorful attire, and intricate beadwork, the Maasai have a deep connection to their cattle, which play a central role in their culture and economy.

Traditionally, they are nomads moving with their herds to find grazing lands.

Despite facing challenges from modernization and land encroachment, the Maasai maintain a strong sense of identity, preserving their language, traditions, and community values while adapting to contemporary life.

Maasai means people speaking maa.

They are famous for their high jumps, which is not just random jumping. It's called 'Adamu' and it carries a deeper meaning amongst their tribe.
