Lecture with keiron LeVine
Notes on all the different tribes
We had a lecture with Keiron Levine who explained and talked about all the different tribes in the world that have various and different looks and scarification for our project. This was really helpful and interesting as I never knew there was so many tribes firstly in the world and I did not really understand there looks and also to why they put themselves threw such torture to look the way they do. It also helped with ideas and suggestions towards ideas and potential ideas for the project using scarification and body modification.
