It can be very easy for an American (like myself) to think of blackness only in terms of an American experience. But the wonder, pageantry, intellect, and promise of people of African descent is best understood on a global scale. I think that AFRICA.VISUAL_MEDIA is a fantastic visual resource that communicates this idea.
about africa.visual_media:
"this blog is primarily about the culture of the african diaspora. the arts (particularly music) is where we as africans stand on par with or above everyone else. in that space there are so many people (african or not) documenting, interpreting, re-interpreting our culture in photography, film, video, print. i mostly use this as a space to collect all the information people, images, ideas that i come across on the web and elsewhere.
