Shamanic cultures around the world portray in art and artifacts the interaction of the human and spirit worlds, a communion that blurs the lines between art and medicine. The shaman journeys to visionary realms, a lower, middle, and upper world, via drumming or taking sacramental substances, and while in altered states of consciousness, makes contact with healing or hostile spirit forces. Tribes as diverse as the Inuit of Northern Canada, the Huichol of Mexico, African Congo culture, Australian Aborigines and islanders of the south Pacific, all produce objects depicting the interaction of the human and spirit worlds. The shaman is the most psychically sensitive person within the community, and performs rituals intended to bind the community together. Art can become a record of the tribal narrative or a way to honor a mythic cosmology and spiritual forces.
