“Life and Immortality”: Poster

In the heart of ancient Kenya, where human history stretches back millions of years, stands a scene of profound significance. The Maasai moran, fierce warriors, stand poised for battle, their eyes sharp and determined. They are guided by the laibon, the revered medicine man, whose wisdom and spiritual guidance are unmatched. At the centre of this powerful tableau is a figure whose face emerges from the depths of time. Branded into his forehead is the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh, also known as the crux ansata by Coptic Christians. This symbol, representing life and immortality, glows with an ethereal light, signifying the eternal connection between past and future. Surrounding these warriors are the wildest and most dangerous creatures of Africa, now as gentle as lambs, their fierce natures tamed by the presence of the laibon. Lions, leopards, and elephants stand calmly beside their human companions, a testament to the harmony between man and nature. The background is a striking contrast, with colours that evoke the fiery depths of hell. Yet, in this dimension of space, the scene is nothing but calm and peaceful. The vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow blend seamlessly with the serene blues and greens, creating a surreal landscape that is both otherworldly and tranquil. This poster captures the essence of life and immortality, celebrating the rich heritage and resilience of African culture. It is a powerful reminder of the strength and unity that comes from embracing one’s history and looking forward to a future filled with hope and peace.
