I think what is most intriguing is that each nation takes Buddhism/Hinduism and adds their own flavour to it #hwc111 #c24

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

There is also cross-cultural religious practice in Indo; Muslims and Buddhists watching the performances and paying respects #hwc111 #c24

and the puppeteers own one set of their own puppets and take extreme care of them, vis-a-vis their Gods #hwc111 #c24

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

Info-Tidbit! Sometimes these Balinese puppet shows are helmed by just ONE person!! #hwc111 #c24

(...) that allows for inter-connectedness, and i think that's really beautiful, and the essence of "one-ness" in this world #hwc111 #c24

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

They really take ownership of their beliefs and personify it!! But there still remains a larger overarching belief (...) #hwc111 #c24

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

Do people believe that Buddha resides in the figures/structures? #hwc111 #c24 @helloworldciv

SEA's most unique quality is its vast diffusion of culture between different nations! #hwc111 #c24

and also, cannot shake the strange similarity to the capitalist hierarchy we are familiar with today (from 1911) #hwc111 #c24

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

Interesting portrayal of a "higher God" and "lesser" deities, suggesting support, subservience and leadership #hwc111 #c24

Mandala of Surya, the Sun God, and Lesser Planetary Deities #Cambodia #Angkor #1200CE #hwc111 #c24

Key takeaway: We are all more alike than we are different #hwc111 #c23

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

Ref to my own twitter profile: I too am guilty of perpetuating this single story stereotype, even with awareness of it #hwc111 #c23

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

EXACTLY WHAT NGOZI JUST SAID: He told e same tales of language, music and economy and was painfully amused by these references #c23 #hwc111

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

Listening to this TED Talk reminds me of my backpack-Nigerian friend Nambi, his dreams to develop Nigeria and stereotypes #hwc111 #c23

albeit in strange, terrible, savage ways #hwc111 #c22

[Val Q. @VQ9876]

I'd like to think of the Moguls as our pioneers of diversity, openness, pluralism and GK did what he needed to survive #hwc111 #c22
