at the 7-th of August 2010 in the gallery "ART NOT TERMINAL" (USA) takes the start the exhibition Artful Henna. In the exhibition take part artists, whose art is influenced by henna painting. 

Artwork of Julia Surba will be also presented there, including the last one, which was specially created for the exhibition –
Shoul Khymat Dancers
 

Most relevant translation of Shuol Khymat term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)

Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated in Ancient Kuzhebar twice a year  at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.

Unfortunately the complete ritual is lost, but we had used some elements of it which are still extant. Normally the ritual had to take place in a very sunny day. It was accompanied by playing on overtone flute and by special movements. Ancient kuzhebar people believed that flute sounds in combination with special dance help to capture the solar energy in a most efficient way.

Three Magic Windows

Categories: foto, Julia Surba, Kuzhebar, Pyrography Art.

Old Kuzhebar legends tell about courageous travellers, who took risks to travel through different reality tunnels, so they could see other worlds which were different from one we usually know. Sometimes these travellers brought some objects from the visited worlds or they tried to depict them. The images were used by them to get into the world they liked again.

Here are Three Magic Windows into three different worlds “reconstructed” by Julia Surba.

Kuzhebarian people believed that each of these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody has to choose with which of them to be connected.

Yagdyns being exists in a turquoise-blue ambience similar to water. His usual attribute is a big crystal-clear fancifully formed seashell, Yagyn lets it sound with the help of his caboo.

Yagdyn is always accompanied by “Tupata” – mystic creatures, who help by realization of his intention (on the left and on the right side of Yagdyn). Tupatas are everpresent, they are usually shown with two heads looking opposite.
According to kuzhebarian tales they possess the unique capability to transform themselves and their ambience. Ancient KuzhebarÒ‘ aborigines appreciated these capabilities of Tupata.
