Question

conclusion on history of weapons

Answer 1

The Throne of Weapons is not simply a sculpture of weapons, but rather an artifact representing Mozambique’s brutal warring history for independence and unification while showing the interconnection of religion and art. It embodies traditional African culture that has used stools to signify the power, war, and independence that occurred as a result of European colonization. Furthermore, it calls attention to the international arms trade, an unregulated trade based in blood money, compensation for killing. Moreover, the throne provides hope for Mozambique’s future as a peaceable nation planning to rebuild its country with tools it received from TAE. Such hope is symbolized in the church archway Kester formed as to suggest that Christianity holds the key to change African warring tradition into a peaceable one. The Throne of Weapons portrays a realistic history in Mozambique, the sorrow felt from the death toll and the hope for a peaceable future
