Blog post about a surrealistic day with the Juniper people of the Boumalne Dades is imminent.

We will start by discussing the 5 pillars of Islam depicted by the 5 points of the star on the 🇲🇦 and will focus on the third pillar: Giving.

Lahcen spent the day making me these juniper cups, saucers and spoons with some copper embellishment.

Goat 🐐 skin container of fresh water 💧 for human consumption at a nomad camp.

This is the type of container also used by the water sellers at Rissani markets.

One thing of note is that some of the nomads who live around the Erg Chebbi dunes may not have given up tent ⛺️ living, but they seem to have given up the nomadic lifestyle *somewhat, in preference so as to give themselves greater access to the tourist dollar, to water deliveries by truck 🛻 and to village- based medical care. 👨🏾‍⚕️

I guess this style of transition is a gentler way of traversing the Stone Age - Renaissance divide, that may be less traumatic for the people involved, than were they to adopt village life in its entirety in one generation.

Black and white, wrought iron, shadow and light are ubiquitous in Morocco and remind me of the line vs colour conversation in art. Kant said line was superior so who am I to argue with Kant? But I do love colour - ha ha. 🎨

It is noteworthy the number of times I observe Moroccans dressing in the same palette 🎨 as their workspace. Exhibit #356:- this nomad lady and her carpet weaving space.
