Warime, the Masks of the Gods

Warime is a traditional ceremony that serves as a way for the community to connect with the spiritual world and seek guidance from their ancestors. During the ritual, participants gather around a sacred fire and perform dances, songs, and chants to invoke the spirits. Offerings such as food, drinks, and tobacco are presented to the spirits as a sign of respect and gratitude. Through Warime, the Wojtüja people believe they can communicate with their ancestors and receive blessings and protection for the community. It is a deeply spiritual and meaningful ceremony that highlights the strong connection between the Wojtüja people and the natural world. Join us as we witness the beauty and significance of Warime and gain a deeper understanding of the rich cultural traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Venezuelan Amazon.

High Rollers

Watching High Rollers – The Golden Age of Arizona Skateboarding is like finding a lost artifact that helps complete a larger mystery from the past. In this case High Rollers adds a much needed layer of knowledge to the origins of radical vertical, and over-vertical, skateboarding. The skateboard boom of the 1970’s went from “sidewalk surfing” and driveway antics to aerials out of backyard swimming pools in an astonishingly short span of time. This evolutionary leap was for the most part well documented in the pages of Skateboarder Magazine and the 2001 documentary Dogtown and Z-Boyz. However, the field of vision both of these forms of media is narrow (although both are excellent), they both deal almost exclusively with what was happening in California (with occasional nods to Florida). It is understandable as skateboarding was born and given life in California, but what happened next? What was going on elsewhere?
