I will make a separate EdFringe post about the experience of the show and being in Edinburgh overall but let me first say that Fringe Central held one of the best Artist of Colour Meet-ups of all time. What an exceptional thing to witness having artists of colour from all across the world connected at the world's largest arts festival! Real important connections were made! There were beautiful conversations about strengthening our experience of growth and upkeep. We also were looking at how we can work together to sustain our presence at a festival like this one where the majority of artists and people at the Fringe are predominately white. Big up the @hotbrownhoney crew for organising this and my brother @marvradio for chairing the meeting and big ups to all the beautiful black and brown people that came down and gave their time, their voices and their hearts for a powerful cause. #AOCEdinburghMeetup2018 #ArtistsofColour #EdFringe2018 #afrocentric #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic #blackisbeautiful #brownisbeautiful #connected #Family #intotheunknown #kings #love #melanin #melanatedmaestros #power #positive #soulful #shinebright #vibratehigher #weshinetogether (at Fringe Central)

#100DaysofTeaBagArt | Artist(e)s of Colour | Day-18| Carlos Santana Pen and Ink, and Watercolours on used tea bag skin Carlos Santana is a Mexican and American musician who first became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana was influenced by popular artists of the 1950s such as B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, and John Lee Hooker. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards. #CarlosSantana #day18 #artistsofcolour
#100DaysofTeaBagArt | Artist(e)s of Colour| Day-17 | Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi (I love this man!) Pen and ink on used teabag skin Chinnaswami Subramania Bharati (11 December 1882 – 12 September 1921) was an Indian writer, poet and journalist, and Indian independence activist and social reformer from Tamil Nadu. Popularly known as "Mahakavi Bharati", he was a pioneer of modern Tamil poetry and is considered one of the greatest Tamil literary figures of all time. His numerous works were fiery songs kindling patriotism and nationalism during the Indian Independence movement. Bharati is considered as one of the pioneers of modern Tamil literature. Bharati used simple words and rhythms, unlike his previous century works in Tamil, which had complex vocabulary. He also employed novel ideas and techniques in his devotional poems. He used a metre called 'Nondi Chindu' in most of his works, which was earlier used by Gopalakrisnha Bharathiar. Bharati's poetry expressed a progressive, reformist ideal. His imagery and the vigour of his verse were a forerunner to modern Tamil poetry in different aspects. He was the forerunner of a forceful kind of poetry that combined classical and contemporary elements. He had a prodigious output penning thousands of verses on diverse topics like Indian Nationalism, love songs, children's songs, songs of nature, glory of the Tamil language, and odes to prominent freedom fighters of India. Bharati is considered the first to have advocated and campaigned for women's participation in politics. He advocated greater rights for women and their education. He visualised a modern Indian woman at the vanguard of society. Bharati also fought against the caste system in Hindu society. Although born into an orthodox Brahmin family, he gave up his own caste identity. Bharati's works were on varied themes covering religious, political and social aspects. Songs penned by Bharati are widely used in Tamil films and music concerts. #MahakaviBharati #artistsofcolour #Day17
