In this powerful rendering for children and adults, writer and griot Arthur Flowers re-tells them as wisdom tales for a contemporary audience, bringing them back to us as one of the sturdy roots of African-American literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis version also straddles storytelling forms– connecting the spoken and written word in surprising ways. The text is heir to the original oral stories, exquisitely illustrated by Jagdish Chitara, a ritual textile painter from Gujarat. Arthur Flowers then takes his stories back into the realm of the oral, with a musical spoken word performance in collaboration with a group of young Indian musicians.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinted and bound by hand, this limited edition artists’ book comes with a music album and short film. This genre defying cross-media project pushes the boundaries of narrative art – inviting the reader (and listener) to explore through sight and sound, text and imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes an audio CD and download code.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tara Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49369200460106,"sku":"9789383145461","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/files\/brer-rabbit-cover.jpg?v=1764704001","url":"https:\/\/archive-books-berlin.myshopify.com\/products\/the-brer-rabbit-retold","provider":"Archive Souq","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
