" - Era uma confusão de PM entrando e saindo com gente ferida; dezenas de corpos a caminho do necrotério. Falei pro Osmar: "Já imaginou se tivessem entrado no Oito?

[...] Na manhã seguinte era dia de eleição,foram votar e retornaram para ajudar os companheiros no rescaldo da tragédia. Seu Araújo nunca mais esqueceu do que viu: - Vi sangue ser puxado com rodo na galeria". Trecho do livro Carcereiros de Dráuzio Varella.

Via @artnewsafrica 🌍 The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana at @dallasmuseumart April 15, 2018 to August 12, 2018 | This April, the Dallas Museum of Art presents an exhibition dedicated to the royal regalia of the Asante kingdom. Spanning three centuries, The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana brings together over 250 objects, including crowns, sword ornaments, ceremonial furniture, textiles, pectoral disks, weapons, a state umbrella, musical instruments, and jewelry made of wood, silk, brass, iron, and gold. Organized by the DMA and inspired by the Museum’s collection, The Power of Gold is the first American museum exhibition dedicated to Asante regalia in over 30 years, and explores the unique role and impact of gold on the development of Asante society, economy, and arts. The exhibition is co-presented by Texas Instruments and PNC Bank. “The DMA’s African art collection has grown tremendously in the past decade, and we are thrilled to shed new light on these exquisite objects, and on the history and culture of the Asante people, some of whom reside in our local community,” said the DMA’s Eugene McDermott Director Agustín Arteaga. “We look forward to welcoming audiences to experience this fascinating culture through the range of skill, symbolism, and tradition infused in this incredible array of royal regalia.” On view from April 15 through August 12, 2018, the exhibition is curated by Dr. Roslyn A. Walker, the DMA’s Senior Curator of the Arts of Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific, and The Margaret McDermott Curator of African Art. The Power of Gold provides insight on the Asante (also spelled Ashanti), the largest and most prominent group of related Akan (Twi-speaking) peoples in southern Ghana, and the capital at Kumasi, which is adjacent to the Ivory Coast. Founded around 1701 with wealth derived primarily from the gold trade with North Africa and Europe, the Asante kingdom expanded through military conquest to become a powerful and dazzling polity in West Africa. #supportblackart #artnewsafrica #asante #art #blackartart #africanart #ghanaianart #gold #dallasmuseum #ashantiart #Asantekingdom #ashantikingdom #empowerment (at Dallas Museum of Art)

Weekend Vibes... #chillvibes #chillmode😎 #weekendvibes Have a great weekend! Reposted from @iamafrica_art JM: When I think of identity, I think of our bodies and souls and the influences of family, culture, and community - the ingredients that make us. — Janet Mock ••• Story: TA: Tiffany Alfonseca (b. 1994) is a Bronx- based #Dominican-American #mixedmedia #artist who creates vibrant and colorful artworks that celebrates Black and Afro-Latinx diasporic culture. Alfonseca continuously taps into her #AfroDominican roots and leverages it as a conceptual cantilever that provides a dynamic framework for her artistic practice. Moreover, her work aims to visually articulate that the Black and Afro-Latinx diaspora does not exist within a monolith, but that these communities are a cultural cornucopia that is vast, varied, and complex. Alfonseca’s artwork is an intricate combination of beauty, diversity, and multilingualism that exemplifies the strength of the Black and #AfroLatinx diaspora.“ — TiffanyAlfonseca ••• i.c.: IG @TiffanyAlfonseca, Artsy ••• #internationalafricanminds #TiffanyAlfonseca #beautifulminds #inspiringafricanminds #artnewsafrica #contemporaryafricanart #contemporaryartcollectors #artivist #artcurator #artiststudio #creative #blackartspace #blackempowerment #supportblackart #dopeblackart #africandigitalart #weafricanartists #visualtherapy #blm #blmprotest #africa #afro (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CENW_tynfRd/?igshid=6p060lu3e52r

Via @artnewsafrica 🌍 ETHIOPIA RECEIVES LONG-TERM LOAN OF LOOTED ARTIFACTS FROM LONDON’S VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM London’s Victoria and Albert Museum has offered to return valuable artifacts to Ethiopia that were looted by the British during the 1868 Battle of Maqdala. The items would be on long-term loan to the country, yet still owned by the museum. The gesture is forcing other institutions throughout the UK, such as the British Library and the British Museum, to reconsider certain policies on the stolen Ethiopian objects in their collections. The Victoria and Albert is also opening an exhibition to mark the battle’s 150th anniversary on April 5. During the conflict, seven hundred Ethiopian soldiers were murdered. The museum’s director, Tristram Hunt, said: “It behooves an institution like the V&A to reflect on this imperial past, to be open about this history and to interpret that history. We should not to be afraid of history, even if it is complicated and challenging. As an institution, we should have the bravery to deal with it.” Ethiopia’s ambassador to the UK, Hailemichael Aberra Afework, said: “We were consulted about the V&A exhibition from its inception, and we appreciate that these sacred treasures will now be on display. We hope they will be of great interest to the British public. Ethiopia has been demanding the return of all treasures taken from Maqdala for some years now.” The ambassador went on to say that claims on the pieces—signed by Ethiopia’s president—were submitted a decade ago and sent to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Library, and the British Museum. #supportblackart #artnewsafrica #ethiopia #stolenfromafrica #culturevultures
