“Osani, The Circle Game”

This would be a great addition to a kid’s bedroom, a family room, a conference room, a classroom, a cubicle, a meditation room, a lunch room... any place at all, really, where this image can work its magic of reminding us about basic connections to nature and community. Photo on top, with the following description of the game below:

“Pygmy kids begin the Osani game by sitting in a circle, feet touching, all connected. Each child in turn names a round object: the sun (oi), the moon (tiba), an eye (ue) — and then goes on to name a figurative expression of ‘round’ — the circle of the family, togetherness, or the cycle of the moon. As players fail to come up with a term that is ‘circular’ they drop out. Eventually, only one remains. Tradition has it that this player will live a long and prosperous life. Osani is the Pygmy word for love.”

Printed on 24” x 36” glossy poster stock.
