Yes...Right here on Black Arc City.com, THIS October, Healthy Black Food re-appreciated through Art. Just like the old European Art Masters would draw the foods that Kings and Queens of those times would like to devour, we need to treat our bodies with majestic respect, and honour the traditional ways to offset richness in food, and curb poor eating, hence 'Green Banana'. Get involved.

Of course, we were really intrigued, and quite frankly, excited to see what the AfroPunk phenomena was 'in the flesh', and as  (AfroPunk are) a progressive agent for change and self-acceptance, we felt we'd  go and support the event, and here, we pay homage visually to some of the lovely folk we hung out with.

So we kick off with our first selection of images from the one day festival.

We have some surprises in this series, and a few more gems too....
So watch this space for THAT.

 HERE NOW SOME MORE WICKED IMAGES FROM AFROPUNK

    Last entry March 20th.
    May be a code entry exhibition. Not sure yet. Depends on the material.

    Looking for Visual Artists. Professional and 'non professional'...and a 'sprinkling' of original musicians and poets.
