Shamanism is a set of traditional beliefs that spans peoples of Asia, North America, South America, Siberia and Africa. Shamanism varies throughout the different tribes and countries, but many common beliefs are shared between them all. One of these is the belief of communication with the spirit world, including the spirits of a persons 'power animal'.
In my first project the ideas of power animals will be main subject of research, alongside research of different shamanic beliefs and ideologies with the goal of finally creating a power animal mask and acting out a personal performance to create still images for a flip-book, and a short animation.
