Cuba is a goldmine of talent. From the Russian influences, to the classical European artists, that many of the Cuban Masters studied with. 

 

Despite a series of repressive governments the art scene has historically thrived in Cuba, where culture occupies a prominent place. Art played a key role in the Cuban revolution and there are currently about 14 art schools, a University of Fine Arts, as well as 13,000 ‘registered artists’ on the island, as Rene Duquesne of the National Council of Visual Arts points out.


The African presence in Cuba is undeniable, incredibly strong and visible but because of the practice of whitening in the US, it is possible to shed, deny, or simply omit one's blackness in order to melt into the dominant, acceptable identity group in Miami. Here it is both possible and common to refer to being Cuban, refer to one's self as “white” while showing pictures of generations of family that include a Black abuelo or abuelita. So when we talk of Afro-Cuban art, we have several distinctions – art that pays homage to African heritage and culture, art by Black Cubans, art that makes reference to Afro-Cuban culture, and none of these are mutually exclusive. As a “movement,” Afro-Cuban Art involves bringing what is Black about Cuba to the forefront and an important linking with Black diaspora arts as a much larger field or landscape. It is one in which Black/ Afro-Cuban lives matter.

 

Afro-Cuban art has given the world, and the African diaspora in particular, a symbolic language with which to speak to and about African spiritual systems, specifically with regard to the orishas. The iconography of spiritual African systems from many nations – Yoruba, Fon, Dahomey, Congo, Ketu, Ijesha, Egbado, Oyo, Nago, Jeje are all a part of what has become Afro-Cuban art. Here there are so many points of reference that people from throughout the African Diaspora will feel and see a “familiar” energy in a variety of artistic mediums in Cuba and the Cuban diaspora.

By using this symbolic language, embedding it in painting, music, sculpture, textiles, and other mediums the narrative histories of West and Southern Africa (specifically Yoruba and Congo) that didn’t exist visually as art for art sake in Africa have significantly contributed to the globalization of Lucumi/orisa culture and positive associations with Cuban culture worldwide. The Lucumi tradition also understood as Afro-Cuban religion, has given us a new world lens on ancient African traditional spiritual systems by creating visible representations that offer a new and necessary lingua franca that we recognize as part of Cuba, bringing together African aesthetics from many different nations.

 

As such Afro-Cuban religion has travelled extensively and influenced the world. It is possible now to see certain images and identify them as representations of Oshun, Oggun, Exu, Obatala, Shango, Oya, Ochossi and their tools as both overt and imbedded in artistic forms. This is a major specific contribution Afro-Cuban art has made to the world – it has in this way made visible narratives which only existed orally and in the minds and hearts of practitioners for many generations. Now, because of Afro-Cuban art, students reading African American novelist Ntozake Shange or viewing international pop sensation Beyonce’s “Lemonade,” can quickly pick up on the Osun imagery because we have a context for a yellow wearing, mirror having, beautiful, brown skinned woman in touch with her own sensuality.

So so small! Not worth $
The images in Amazon are nothing like what the product is. The pretzels and rings are minuscule. My two pit/lab mixes will eat one in about 30 seconds. So disappointment. Not worth the $ for what you’re getting. I tried to return items which are individually wrapped but they do not allow returns on these products. I have not opened any of them and still not able to return. If you have a dog under 15lbs these may work! If you have a large breed don’t bother. I’m so disappointed. Pictures above is the product next to a small milk bone biscuit (for reference).

A Premium Magnesium Powder From A Brand I Actually Trust
Thorne has a strong reputation in the supplement world, and this Magnesium Citrate powder is a good example of why. Magnesium is one of those basic minerals that does more than people realize. It supports normal muscle and nerve function, helps with energy production, contributes to bone health, and plays a role in cardiovascular function. The NIH notes that magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzyme systems in the body, including processes tied to muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, blood pressure regulation, and bone development. (Office of Dietary Supplements) Magnesium citrate in particular is a form many people use because it is generally well absorbed and can also help with occasional constipation. That is both a benefit and something to respect. If you take too much, it can move from “helpful” to “where is the nearest bathroom” fairly quickly. I would start modestly and see how your body responds. The citrus berry flavor is pleasant enough for a mineral powder. It is not candy, and it does not need to be. It mixes reasonably well and is easy to work into a nightly routine or use when you feel like your muscles are tight, your diet has been less than ideal, or you simply want magnesium without swallowing another capsule. The biggest selling point for me is the brand. Thorne is not some mystery-label supplement company with a pretty bottle and a warehouse address nobody wants to talk about. Thorne says its facility is NSF certified, it manufactures more than 40 NSF Certified for Sport products, and it is used by professional and national sports organizations. (Thorne) Their Magnesium Citrate product page also states that the product is third-party tested and certified to verify what is in the package. (Thorne) That matters with supplements. You are not just buying magnesium. You are buying confidence that the dosage, purity, and manufacturing standards are being taken seriously. Thorne usually costs more than bargain brands, but with supplements, cheap is not always the victory it looks like on the front end. Overall, this is a high-quality magnesium option from a brand with real credibility. I like it for muscle support, general wellness, bone and heart-health support, and occasional regularity. Just treat it like a supplement, not a snack, especially if you are sensitive to magnesium or already taking other products that contain it.

Taste is good, reliable manufacturer
Thorne is a reputable brand that has come out with a magnesium citrate and has been certified by a third-party. I sometimes wonder about supplements online, but having a third-party certify the product gives me more peace of mind. It comes in a double protected container for further peace of mind. This magnesium citrate comes in a powder form and mixes fairly easily with cold water. There is bicarbonate in the product, so it has a slight bubbly texture. This really tastes like citrus berry and is sweetened with monk fruit extract. I like that it has no artificial sweeteners in it. Magnesium has been known to support muscle heart bone and the urinary tract. It can also help with constipation. My husband is a nurse and he says that they regularly administer this in the hospital when a patient has trouble with constipation. The recommended dosage is one scoop to 6 to 8 ounces of water. There are about 60 doses in the container. If taken once a day, this will last for two months. This is a good alternative to other magnesium supplements. It is a form that is usually well absorbed by the body. Given the reputation of the manufacturer, the ease of use, the benefits, and the ease of absorption, I can recommend this product if you are looking to increase magnesium in your diet.

Certified quality magnesium citrate
If you like powdered supplements and planning to take magnesium citrate, then this one if for you. I take it towards the end of the day, and in addition to the many benefits of magnesium, it actually helps me relax and sleep better, although those are not the main benefits of citrate. I guess we all react differently to supplements. My favorite setup is when I take it in the evening and sip on it during a sauna session. In all cases, I target end of day. The taste is very good and it mixes easily with water. Also, Thorne is a brand I trust and it's certified by various bodies. It's worth the premium but it's better to catch a deal on amazon or add it to subscribe and save for a discount if you're planning to use it long term.
