Tribal Venus

African tribal women are well renowned for their beauty and pride themselves on their appearance, spending many hours on beauty care, adornment and grooming. The tribal traditions of bodily adornment and scarification, dance, art and music provide tribal people with a sense of community, continuity, identity and self-expression. Many tribal people around the world are facing significant pressures on their traditional lifestyles due to economic development, which places little or no value on their traditons and culture. It is vitally important that the cultural diversity and traditional values of tribal people is preserved or the world will be a much lesser place.
