Five Murmurations (excerpt)
Five Murmurations is London-based, Ghanaian-born artist John Akomfrah’s response to the global pandemic, murder of George Floyd, and worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter. It is a visual essay of our current times.
Moving across three screens, the artwork opens with details from Hieronymus Bosch’s oil painting The Conjurer (1502), in which the Dutch artist depicts how easily people are conned. Akomfrah then weaves together an extensive archive of images that mix iconic works of art with scenes shot and gathered in the globally fraught 18-month period between 2019 and 2021. The filmmaker combines what he calls “current emotional states”-sitting alone with one’s phone or stari...

For her first monographic exhibition, acclaimed photographer Ayana V. Jackson was inspired by the Detroit-based 1990s techno band Drexciya (musicians James Stinson and Gerald Donald) whose albums imagined a mythical aquatopia populated by descendants of pregnant African women thrown (or who jumped) overboard into the Atlantic Ocean during the Middle Passage. In this exhibition, Jackson expands ...

    its crazy they were able to make tools with such primitive methods. Forging with a rock for a hammer and a bigger rock for an anvil... that is hard enough to do once in a while, but imagine doing that regularly... your joints would be toast within a few years. Sure the rock might absorb less heat, but you also have to work much longer and thus you would end up heating even more than you would with a proper steel hammer and anvil. besides, reheating the metal in the forge isn't that big a deal, and you can get a lot done with a single good heat if you are effecient.

    Pottery making is a world wide skill but the African pottery makers seem to be able to take it to another level items found around their households that you wouldn’t think you would be able to use it make pots. I’ve seen plastic tops off containers used to smooth the sides pots and corn cobs used to make decorative designs on pots. The level of these pot makers creativity is amazing. This is the fifth video I have watched. 😊

    And this guy, who cant even say Hendrik Verwoerd's name, should comment too on the horrendous period in SA we are all living through now, the ANC South Africa: Poverty Murders Rapes of women and children No water No electricity Pot holes Crime and violence Pit toilets..... Human rights abuses are worse now than ever! 🤬 At least things functioned and there was law and order in the old SA.
