some images from the cave homes of gharyan, libya. communities of jews who made their homes in underground caves have been known in the maghreb since before the 1st century. when spain invaded tripoli in 1510, tripolian jews, both toshavim and sephardic, fled to gharyan and dug out cave homes for themselves. the houses today are occupied by non-jewish libyans or rented out to tourists.

#libya #architecture #jewish #sephardic #amazigh #my posts #a bunch of tripolian jews were captured by the spanish and sold into slavery in sicily so i don't blame them for running away! #interestingly there's also non-jewish traditions of living inside caves throughout mena (i imagine bc of the heat and for protection) #this one just happened to have been built by jewish people #this is where the religion tags get murky #not everything in them is necessarily religious #(such as all the mausoleums i post)

[ILLUSTRATION - MIRAGEVERSE] "Um' Al Nuwr"

2023 was a year of growth and chaos for me.

Unfortunately, the chaos was quite hard to handle, therefore i needed any kind of break life could offer. "No activity on social media" was my safe way (among others) and thankfully, I have quite the experience in being a ghost on the internet.

Hence, after some time i return in 2024 with renewed energy and a some late 2023 illustration !

****************************** Here is "Um' Al Nuwr" ("The Mother of Light" in Arabic), the original creator of the huge universe where most of my stories take place.

In her hands she carries the Three Pillars of her creation : the Mirageverse or, the universe of Mirages.

The Eye

The Lantern

The Heart

"The Lantern bears her Light, to illuminate even the darkest places with life.

The Eye keep watches on each of her Visions, to follow even the dangerously ambitious ones.

The Heart guards all parts of her Soul, to shield even those most heartless."

In the Privacy of the Tuaregs

Photos by Ferhat Bouda, 2016.

Between the Sahara and the Sahel, around the cities of Agadez and Abalak, in central Niger, live Tuareg tribes who have chosen to move away from cities, new technologies and assimilation. They are still semi-nomadic, but only move their camps twice a year and only a few kilometers depending on the rising waters in winter.

Livestock raising is their main source of income. Since the 1960s, however, many men forced to leave the villages to go to work in the city and thus be able to support their families

Women, very proud, are the pillars of the tribes. Refusing polygamy, which is very widespread in the region, they are the ones who choose their husband and, at the slightest dispute, it is the man who must leave the house and leave the children and cattle to the woman. In many ways, it appears to be a matriarchal society, but decision-making remains in the hands of men.

Several distinctive signs give Tuareg society its authenticity, such as its habits and customs, its arts, its fashions and other traditional weapons.

Remaining nevertheless the linguistic organ which structures the culture of the Tuareg population. This organ is Berber and makes it an Amazigh entity in its own right.
