Let me shed some light on the subject.
„Africa’s Struggle for Its Art: History of a Postcolonial Defeat“
Is a Book of Bénédicte Savoy.
I met her and talked to her a few times about this topic, because we worked in the same prestigious cultural institution, the Humboldt Forum. I quit there, among other things, because I witnessed firsthand the cynical handling of the Restition of the Benin Bronzes , a group of several thousand metal plaques and sculptures that decorated the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin, in what is now Edo State, Nigeria. And I am talking of only one institution. There are many reputable sources about this topic.
Absolutely. I am German, thanks for letting me learn a new term- Practical FX, sums it up.
💯. It's interesting how his ideas and visualizations of the future still inspire designers and architects. Apart from that, the Bladerunner set and the many details were mostly still built by hand and mixed with strong background light, smoke and rain. For me still the strongest futuristic film noir.
I know this well and have had endless debates with good friends about our banking system and its unfairness. Likewise about Bitcoin. If you don't want to understand the first, it becomes more difficult to accept the raison d'être of the second. I have my own experiences with Baby B and also other ideals - and they have their opinions. As long as they don't stop me , it's ok for me. But it would be nicer if they could finally distinguish crypto from bitcoin.🙈
The Cutiest!
Lemme be your wing women. 💪🏾
As a child, I was already fascinated by outer space and even more by ideas to explore it. I spent a lot of time under my blanket with a flashlight, absorbed in my favorite book with drawings of space stations, rockets, and life in the future. Everything seemed peaceful and quite social; I loved the idea that space travel would become second nature to everyone. "..I think if you paint a beautiful future over and over again, you're helping to make that future come true." said the set designer and neo-futurist concept artist Sid Mead.
He designed the futuristic worlds of movies like "Star Trek", "Mission to Mars" and of also "Blade Runner", in the original versionone of my favorite movies. Happy Friday. #nostrart
