Without a doubt, Sevilla is the place for artistry. Whether you are a writer, painter, sculptor, photographer, artisan, dancer or whatever, the inspiration is here for your craft and with nothing but pure natural happiness alive in the atmosphere; so many great things have been created. For one, the Feria festival had all types of medieval artists selling their crafts for almost 3 days straight (I actually got a lot of friends and family gifts from there!). But moreover, at night there and all throughout the day, there were performances by dancers, flamenco and contemporary singers, amongst other talents. It was definitely a lot of fun and a great way to enjoy Sevilla before my final exams (which went really well!). Below are some pictures of an oriental dance group that did belly dancing/hindu routines.

However, the most remarkable artistry by all that I have seen in Sevilla was definitely the Desvuelos exposition by photographer Angéle Etoundi Essamba. She photographed the most beautiful images of African women in veils and head pieces that I have ever seen. The exposition is right in the middle of the tourist area, walking from Plaza Espana to the Giralda, and simply captivates who ever’s eye that glances by it. As a writer, I love seeing people who follow their art even when it’s the less popular societal or monetary choice. Although in truth, one day we all have to support ourselves, it’s so important to stay true to the talents God has given you, because you never know how he may use you to express them!

Here are a few snapshots of Essamba’s exposition, enjoy!
