PROJECT: PORTRAITS
ARTIST: BAH IS LIFE
A series of portraits inspired by people, nature and ideas from all corners of our world.
For this third one we travel to Zanzibar to meet KAKA.
The word "kaka" is a Swahili word that means "brother."
It is a ubiquitous term in Swahili conversations, used to address both older and younger brothers. It's a way of acknowledging the fraternal bond and establishing a sense of respect and camaraderie.
The term extends beyond biological brothers, encompassing male friends, acquaintances, and even strangers.
It's a term of endearment, often used to express affection, admiration, and support. The bond between "kaka" is characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and a sense of shared responsibility.
