High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yoruba of South Western Africa (Benin Republic, Nigeria & Togo, also including parts of Ghana, Cameroon & Sierra Leone), have a very rich and vibrant artisan community, creating traditional and contemporary art. The custom of art and artisans among the Yoruba is deeply rooted in the Ifa literary corpus, indicating the orishas Ogun, Obatala, Oshun and Obalufon as central to creation mythology including artistry (ie the art of humanity). Over the years, many have come to merge foreign ideas of artistry and contemporary art with the traditional art forms found in West Africa. The traditional art forms among the Yoruba include but but are not limited to; beading, braiding, tattooing, clay moulding and ceramic work, bronze casting, weaving and dyeing, sculpting etc. There is also a vibrant form of customary theatre known as Alarinjo that has its roots in the medieval period and that has given much to the contemporary Nigerian film industry.
