3 pages of my latest zine ✨In Defense of Slawn✨ ft similar multidisciplinary British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare and (Ghanaian) Nigeria based El Anatsui. Of course featuring songs/song lyrics and book references.
(Sort of a follow up my Neostrange Fruit zines because I’m taking an Art of Africa+ class and my (very European/Eurocentric) professor and the class itself is awful 🙃. It’s been hellish. I elaborate a bit in the zine so I’ll leave it at that.)
✨Neostrange Fruit✨ mini zine about blackness in art using Eartha Kirt’s song Paint Me Black Angels as the starting point of revisionist artwork and (forced/contrived) inclusivity clashing with historical reality and contemporary life. Text heavy aside from these pages.
Impromptu Part 2 ✨Neostrange Fruit; Lust of the Eyes, I care not for✨ Integrating a reference to a poem by pre-raphaelite artist Lizzie Siddal. The front cover also features FKA Twigs Thousand Eyes lyrics, the back has Octavia Bulter and lyrics from FKA Twigs - Cellophane, Celeste - Coco Blood, Corinne Bailey Rae - He will Follow You With His Eyes & Put your Records on.

She appears to be savoring the beauty all around her, but really, she’s just been shot in the back with an arrow because her mother Niobe made the mistake of trash talking Apollo’s mom.
