-Father Bosco-

The story of the murder of the elders ‘Chopping down trees for no reason is like sacrificing relatives and ancestors. It compromises the future of the younger generations.’ #congopositif #congobasin #congolesemythology #mythologieafricaine #africanmythology #talesofus #storytellingactivism #rainforest #congobasin #congobasinrainforest #congotales #environmentalart #storytellingactivism #congopositif

There are 2 countries called Congo. Their capitals, Kinshasa and Brazzaville are the two geographically closest country capitals in the world.

Separated only by the Congo River, they can be easily seen at a distance and reached by a 5 minute boat ride. #congopositif #kinshasa #congotravels #brazzaville #congofacts #talesofus #congobasin #drc #rc

〰️ In friendship or love, he who demands the impossible will always encounter resentment. 〰️ One of the 6 new pieces that have been taken into the permanent collection of the @rijksmuseum, the Mole and the Sun is an important tale about friendship, trust and the consequences of the natural world.

“Every time we raise the camera to our eyes, we become morally responsible to ‘the photographed’ as well as the viewers. Photography cannot be just a privilege, it’s a responsibility that should not be abdicated.” - @neeta.satam

〰️ Happiness or sadness in the present must not make us forget the past. The fruit must not conceal the roots. This is fertilizer for the seeds of the future. 〰️ Tales of Us is delighted to announce that this piece ‘My Love’, is one of 6 that have been taken into the permanent collection of the @rijksmuseum
A big reason for celebration; we are thrilled to have Congolese centric narratives included in one of the oldest and most important artistic institutions of the Netherlands.

The Congo Basin makes up one of the most important wilderness areas left on Earth.
At 500 million acres, it is larger than the state of Alaska and stands as the world’s second-largest tropical forest. #congopositif #congotravels #congobasin #congotales #talesofus #congofacts #congobasin #biodiversity #ecosystem #rainforest #nature #congofacts

〰️ Each family has a totem animal passed on from generation to generation. The animal is to be studied, respected and never eaten or killed. 〰️ Tales of Us is delighted to announce that ‘The Elephant’, is one of 6 pieces from the Congo Tales photo series that have been taken into the permanent collection of the @rijksmuseum
A big reason for celebration; we believe that these Congolese centric narratives being included in one of the oldest and most important artistic institutions of the Netherlands will bring us all important lessons about the natural world and how to interact with it as a human family.

We are extremely proud to contribute to the wider exposure of these important Congolese centric narratives, especially in the context of one of the oldest and most important artistic institutions of the Netherlands.
