"ARUGUNGU FESTIVAL."

16" x 36" (1990)

Hand-colored linoleum-print
(also available in monochrome)
(Ltd. Edition)

Arugungu Festival has three major competitions enjoyed by both participants and audience.

The wrestling competition encircled by the ring is viewed by the Emir (king) who can be identified as the turbaned figure (seated under the traditional huge umbrella) amongst the people.

The referee holds a horn to his lips.

Within the figure of a duck Lake Swimmers try to catch ducks.

Some dive and surface, others reach and all seek to be the first to catch a duck and hold it up as winner.

A fish form frames the last competition: to catch the largest and heaviest fish.

A weight scale can be found on the right side awaiting the final measure of the victor's prize catch.
