Project About “santeria“ When I had in mind going to the art museum for my next campus involvement; I was thinking about arts masterpieces like paintings, and sculpture. But my ignorance led be mo believe that these were the only forms of arts that a museum shows. In the entrance of the art museum in PC there was this big sign ”Face of gods. Arts and Altars of Africa and the Africa Americas”. When I entered I saw all kinds of altars, and shrines to gods that though some names sounded familiar other were completely unknown to me .The first question that came to my mind was “Is this art'” If I had wanted to see shrines I would have went to a church. Besides back in my country many people worship theses gods and had altars in their own homes. So it wasn’t anything new to me. But as I kept going into the museum I had to change my mind, many of these shrines were a work of art, really beautiful. Maybe because I was used to see all these altars in Cuba were people don’t have the resources to make them like the ones I just saw. museum, altars, art, shrines, religion, mind, i’m, gods, god, familiar, arts, africa, though, slaves, shrine, seen, saw, practice, performed, people, one, inside, going, first, exposition, back, anything, altar, about, yoruba, worship, work, widely, whichever, way
