Culture Vulture Weekly Recommendations
Have you heard of the Culture Vulture Challenge?
Each week we bring you some recommendations from the entries to this monthly challenge. I will be announcing the Guest Judge and prize funds for this month later today but in the mean time you may get some inspiration from the following entries from the last week. This challenge is a great way to get inspiration for posting on Steemit!
Culture Vulture
The tag #culturevulture is a place where you can share something unique about your country with the world. Instead of being a tag about travel or tourism this tag is more about sharing local experiences. Let's get inside the hearts and souls of the Steemit Community!
Recommendations
In this post I call out some of the great entries from the past week (you can still vote on these). They all stand out to me and really capture the spirit and the vision of the #culturevulture tag. This is just a small selection but for more you can check out the #culturevulture tag.
Customs & Traditions
Traditions passed down from generation to generation may have a symbolic meaning or cultural significance; clothes, dress, food, holidays, family gatherings, pass-times. Traditions and customs are bound tightly to our cultural identity and may not always be the easiest for outsiders to grasp.
@ponpase visits the Dani Tribe from Indonesia
We prefer original photography but if you use images or text from elsewhere on the internet be sure to reference them.
Not all posts have to be long, in this post by @ayie77 shows an original photograph of traditional instrument and gives some detail about it and its history.
@chaidir082 captures the emotion of a marriage ceremony in Indonesia

This emblematic uniform, a legacy of Simón Bolívar, by @afrikablr
Food
In some respects nothing expresses a culture more than its food. The climate, culture, religion, the family structure and even way of life are all represented. When we travel or live overseas nothing brings you home like the taste or aroma of a dish from your childhood.
@sweetpea and her family cook up a storm in South Africa
Another example of a short post, but in this one @muhajir-ajir shares some insights about an aspect of his culture and an experience with just a few words and a snapshot from his phone. When you travel it's items of food like this Risol that you will remember years later! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
A longer post by @masniaty which really shares a delicacy of Aceh with us
Coffee in Ethiopia by @allzul, coffee with butter...
Art
"#culturevulture" considers art as a physical expression of creativity. It takes many forms from the visual to performance arts. Art can change the temperature of a room, it inspires, it heals unites and can divide people. Art often provides a focal point to a celebration. Like food, art is a rich expression of our culture.
@mahkotaraja shares the process of making a Portrait on linen in Indonesia.
@dalafdal uses his imagination to turn waste into Art.
Festivals
Festivals are great to experience when you travel because they usually showcase the best local speciality foods, music, art as well as being great fun and a time for holidays.
There are not many entries in this category this month yet but I am looking forward to see if anyone posts about St. Patricks Day in their country next week..
Join the fun today and check out #culturevulture
