“South Africa is a very diverse country, and many people perform themselves differently from one person to the next. African women perform their personal and group identity through hair-dos and styling. This has routinely been confused for trying to conform to mainstream western standards of beauty. Yet it has been noted that women in general find the need to perform themselves using different ways to show their identity. Paradoxically many women end up losing their identity. Through various hair-dos, many women perform the self, in ways that raise questions about Black women’s identity.” - Akona Golimpi

Expressing #whatmyhandsdoing with @ponypork

To see more of what Romo’s hands are doing, browse the #whatmyhandsdoing hashtag and follow @ponypork on Instagram.

Romo Jack (@ponypork) describes himself as a “creative worker” who explores new ways of expressing himself and devising new forms of art. In one of his projects called #whatmyhandsdoing, he captures scenes of his hands engaging in various activities — including painting, cooking, playing with board games and catching rainbows. “Just like how my eyes are always seeing from the time I wake up from bed to the time I fall back asleep, my hands are also doing something every second,” says the 22-year-old from Jakarta, Indonesia. “There might be thousands, even millions of things our hands have got to do.”

Romo says that the challenge in creating these images is not so much in arranging the objects, but rather in finding ways to visualize his ideas. When he’s stuck with a concept, he turns to the streets and markets for inspiration. “I’m a sucker when it comes to secondhand items,” he says. “I believe they can be recreated into something more valuable, and the important thing is to collect them first.” Romo says he didn’t labor over how his photo series would take shape — he just visualized it and made it happen. “I found out that you don’t need to spend too much time just imagining about a concept, which might lead you to do nothing in the end. The more important thing is to take a look around us and just do it!”

Creating Murals of Imagined Creatures the Whole World Can See with @alexis_diaz

To dive into the colorful, imaginary world of Alexis’ mural art, follow @alexis_diaz on Instagram.

“There was a moment when I realized that canvases were a limit, that the message couldn’t reach everybody,” remembers Puerto Rico-born artist Alexis Diaz (@alexis_diaz). “Only a few people could get access to contemplate them in a gallery or in a museum, because in Puerto Rico, there’s a small percentage of people who get access to art education.”

Seeking another way to express himself, Alexis turned to mural art and began creating his works in public spaces, to reach out to a broad audience regardless of social status. Using a small brush and a lot of patience, Alexis creates most of his meticulous compositions freehand, line-by-line as he goes along. “I feel like having an intimate conversation between the wall, the surrounding space and me,” says Alexis. “I put elements together like in a puzzle until the moment of mutual understanding.”

Looking back, Alexis still can’t believe how art changed his life. “I quit my job and everything I was doing at the moment and for a year and a half I painted the streets of Puerto Rico without gaining a penny,” he remembers. Now over 40 of his surreal murals can be found in more than two-dozen cities worldwide. And he keeps adding to the list: “This year I’ll be painting in New York, Budapest, Cozumel, Rome, Berlin, San Diego, Denver, Paris and Sydney,” he says.
