Description
These birds are very common in our zoos here in Tanzania. Although they are difficult to see sometimes because they hide in trees, when spotted, they are incredible to look at because their tails are long and full of colors. When they move them together, it is especially wonderful.
After seeing them on TV and in animal books as a child, I decided to go look for them and draw them in a TingaTinga style.
[Ramadhani Mangula]
Ramadhani Mangula is one of the main organizers and artists for TingaTinga Arts Cooperative in Tanzania. Born in 1977, he joined the cooperative when he was 20 years old with the goal of mastering this uniquely East African style. After years of study, he realized he needed to better understand English and other art forms to better engage with diverse guests at the Cooperative and share his love of TingaTinga with the world, so he enrolled in classes at the Institute Worldwide University (IWW).
Today, Mangula is an active contributor, advocate, and organizer for all things related to TingaTinga- including this partnership with Orangehare. In addition to being one of the first TingaTinga artists to be featured on Web3, he has also exhibited physical work in the Sounds of Busara Art Exhibition on the Zanzibar Islands and is a regular fixture at the National Museum in Tanzania.
