The Art of: ARUS
The Art of: is a series that spotlights cultural practices, artisanal trade, and craftsmanship indigenous to Africa. Through visual documentation, it aims to preserve indigenous practices and the art of their techniques while highlighting the work of the artisans and practitioners who carry forward these traditions.
Our first episode transports us to a small Nubian community in Kibera, Kenya, where filmmakers April and Tierney Walker document some of the fascinating beautification rituals undertaken by a Nubian bride 'ARUS' as part of her wedding preparations.

    Remarkable show, very interesting to see the neighborhood baking practices. But it's sad that bromate is widely used. If Ascorbic acid is a effective substitute, I hope they switch. Bakers should appreciate the role they play in the health of their community. Britain went through an arduous process to standardize bread ingredients and to exclude non nourishing ones. It's a struggle, but worth it.

    I am Jamaican. Amos Shackleford was my Great-grandfather. One of his daughter Doris, was my grand mother. This Agege bread they're speaking of, appears to be what we call in Jamaica "Hard dough Bread". That's probably where Amos got the idea. Just sayin..

ALL my family/relatives are in Jamaica, USA or Canada. I speculate that my grandmother was one of his "off the books" children, as I don't have any record of her coming from a marriage.

    I don't think people understand the level of craftsmanship that goes into this art you've all simplified. I have looked at your other visuals especially the golden brick bread. Childhood memories, outstanding works! If y'all see yourselves heading towards Zim at any time, contact: 'Telling a good Zimbabwe story' Rutendo Matinyarare. He's a one man show deserving of your expertise however possible. Please continue your 'provoking emotions artistry' just wonderful.
