This Swahili term means “way of fighting with fist” and describes a martial art using African fighting styles. I studied this with Oso Mfundishi Tayari Casel when I lived in Maryland. You can still find the Tayari Casel Martial Arts Academy in downtown Silver Spring. The above logo is still used by the school. I didn’t create it, but I did at one point trace the entire thing into Adobe Illustrator – and learned about splines and curves.
Here is an image of Burningman 2007, showing the Temple of Forgiveness. It was of course burned on the last day of the festival. The amazing thing about this structure was how it revealed itself upon approach. From far away, it looks very plain. As you get closer, the patterns and embossing becomes visible, like a cell under a microscope. At a very close up view, you can see the writing on the walls.

It’s my second day of this WordPress class at TechLiminal, and already I’m mostly done uploading my content. This post is mainly to add a link to the first post, Why Art Before Science?
“Art Before Science” is an anagram of my name, Rebecca Firestone.
I suppose it could have been science before art… but it’s not.
