Christina Khumari is a goldsmith, artist and sculptor and for the next month or so she will be resident in the Fez Medina as a guest of The View from Fez.
While in Morocco, Khumari will be doing research into amulets and talsimans as a basis for a future collection of wearable small scale sculptures - with a focus on the magic and symbolism of various cultures. At a later date she will carry out further work on Celtic culture and Spanish Christian symbolism.
If anyone has knowledge of interesting talsimans or amulets, Khumari would love to hear from you. She can be contacted on email: ckhumari@gmail.com
