DESCRIPTION:
“In the Bush. The non plus chores of the Maasai Women are still a daily activity and custom for the sustainable society.
The arts are essential and all but unmatched by any other culture in Africa. The mandatory lifestyle exemplifies the natural beauty of this unique terrain in East Africa.
There are still African American women who hold fast to the same customs. Despite the Male/ Female roles that have shifted in the United States of America. “
-Terrence Gore
ABOUT THE ARTIST:

As a curator, Gore hosted shows and sold artwork by well-known African American artists like Allen Stringfellow and Haitian artist Frank Louissaint for many years from his art gallery on South Street in Philadelphia.

After many years of business success as an interior designer, gourmet chef and fashion stylist, Gore was diagnosed with PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy) which paralyzed the right side of his body.
