Tata Somba are the traditional houses of the Somba people in northern Benin and Togo. They are built with mud, straw, and wood, resembling small, two-story fortresses. Animals live and grain is stored on the lower level; the family sleeps and finds refuge from the heat on the upper level. Each tata belongs to an extended family and reflects their unity, spirituality, and self-sufficient way of life connected to the land. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas

The traditional pottery of the Somba women—a people also known as Batammariba, who live in northern Benin and Togo—is one of the most important artisanal expressions of their culture. It is characterized by being entirely handmade, without a potter's wheel, and by being deeply connected to daily life and spiritual practices. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
