>>>Swipe for process>>> Iemanjá from my master project Cancioneiro Ilustrado at @illustration_udk @udkberlin The name Iemanjá comes from the iorubá expression “Yèyé omo ejá” which means “mother whose children are fish”. Also called Queen of the Sea, she’s the orixá of fertility and the ocean, honoured not only in Nigeria, but in Brazil and many other countries of the afro-diaspora. In Salvador da Bahia she is celebrated traditionally on the 2nd of february in Rio Vermelho neighbourhood. #iemanjá #yemaya #yemanya #iemanja #illustration #orixá #ilustração #queenofthesea #rainhadomar #janaína #cancioneiroilustrado #capoeiraangolasongbook #illustratedsongbook #livroilustrado (hier: Rio Vermelho Salvador Bahia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cck6bYpjxq9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
