Modern Names
As with so many traditional cultures, outside influence can affect its evolution. Here, the painted, scattered, stones, depict the disuse of traditional Chagga names, and replacement with more Westernized names. The artist may feel that the traditional names are being cast aside, so to speak-this interpretation may serve as a metaphor for what is happening to our culture.

Modern Times
Tanzania's first president was a school teacher, and thus was affectionately known as Mwalimu. He was well known for promoting a self-reliant Tanzania, and for unifying all the various ethnic groups under one flag. In his philosophy there was no justification forsocial or economic inequality. As a result, Tanzania is now notably, relatively free of tribal rivalries.
