Tukar Tuwo Masara - An Oil Painting by Emmanuel Ghani Kamata | Nigeria

Oil on Canvas/101cm x 76cm

This captivating oil-on-canvas painting tells the story of the Tangale tribe, a minority group situated in Gombe State, Northern Nigeria, West Africa. The Tangale people, occupying three local government areas, stand as one of the strongest tribes in the state.

Annually, a festival is held to beseech the gods for favorable rainfall and a prosperous farming season. The painting vividly portrays a moment in this tradition – a woman diligently preparing a meal for the men who have spent the day engaged in the tribe's customary and festival rites. After their extensive day, they return to a warmly cooked meal, symbolizing the communal spirit and shared responsibilities within the tribe.
