The Yoruba of South Western Africa (Benin Republic, Nigeria & Togo, also including parts of Ghana, Cameroon & Sierra Leone), has a very rich and vibrant artisan community, creating traditional and contemporary art. The custom of art and artisans among the Yoruba is deeply routed in Ifá literary corpus indicating the deities Ogun, Obatala, Oshun and Obalufon as central to creation mythology including artistry (ie the art of humanity)
Over the years many have come to cross foreign ideas of artistry and contemporary art with the traditional art forms found in West Africa.
Commentary
The traditional art forms among the Yoruba include but not limited to; beading, braiding, tattooing, mogley-us clay and ceramic, bronze, weaving and dying, sculpting etc.
