It is especially popular in Zaire and the Zambezi River basins. Slaves brought them to the United States in the slave trade. They are a quiet instrument, so are played for personal pleasure. They are not loud enough to be used for rituals or dances.

How many ways can a book tell a story? Words and pictures come to mind first, but have you ever wondered if the paper itself or the shape of the book might have something to say as well?
We hope this short video will give you a brief overview of the four ways we believe the books in this exhibit tell their stories.

Minerals, plants and insects are sources of pigment color.
Recently we took a journey back in time to the Middle Ages, before the printing press, when books were written and illustrated entirely by hand. Dr. Tony Silvestri from Washburn University showed us how he’s keeping this complex craft alive today. Offered in conjunction with "Telling Stories", our current book art exhibit.

Edition of 109: Scripps College Press, Claremont, CA
TSCPL Permanent Collection
This book was printed by a sprinkling of eleven students in the Fall 2008 Typography class at the Scripps College Press. Each student hand-set their piquant section from a selection of five typefaces and printed their work on well-seasoned Vandercook presses. The binding was designed to mimic a book a pungent spice trader might carry.
Wet & Wild Papermaking Program
Betsy Roe (Gallery educator and associate curator) along with Brea Black (Special Collections librarian) showed people how to make paper today! Each person got to strain it through a screen and then "roll it up like a burrito" to take home, unroll and dry out.

Achepohl says “Picasso and Matisse show us the need to return to nature, to observe firsthand, to climb out of our skull of certainty and see again of for the first time.”
He is known primarily for this watercolors and prints. Much of the inspiration for his work comes from his extensive travels in the Mediterranean, in particular Egypt and Turkey. Other works reflects his interest in nature through the sensitive depiction and interpretation of plant forms.
