My work will be featued in the publication of PIXELATING
Black in New Dimensions
Curated by Zemen Kidane, Isissa Komada-John, and Jabari Owens-Bailey
Curatorial Fellows, 2011-2012
Project Space

If one gets close enough, zooms in to get an intimate look, can the color black become pixelated? Pixelating is a series of five curatorial projects taking place in various formats from November 17, 2011 to February 25, 2012. Under the overarching theme of Pixelating, the curatorial series highlights the discreet elements that directly challenge notions of a universal Black identity.

At 6:46pm on May 23, 2011, DUKE COTTONHEAD said…: another interesting thing to note, is that in west africa, they have the concept of chi under an indigenous name. also, there are parallels between the i-ching, and the ifa divination system of the yoruba. the ifa system is more complicated as there are 256 variants, as opposed to 64, etc. great artwork, by the way!

At 5:39pm on May 19, 2011, DUKE COTTONHEAD said…: by the way, the chinese were originally black. they came from east africa. one in five chinese have african dna.
