AfriCOBRA IS Black History.⁠ ⁠ Images here are from 'AfriCOBRA: Messages to the People,' edited by Dr. Jeffreen Hayes and published by @gregoryrmiller and @mocanomi ⁠ ⁠ This is an essential publication on the radical collective whose name stands for "African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists"—founded by Gerald Williams, Jae Jarrell, Wadsworth Jarrell, Barbara Jones-Hogu and Jeff Donaldson in Chicago, 1968, and still active today. "It’s NATION TIME and we are searching," Donaldson is quoted. "Our guidelines are our people—the whole family of African people, the African family tree. … Our people are our standard for excellence. We strive for images inspired by African people. … Art for the people and not for critics whose peopleness is questionable."⁠ ⁠ Pictured:⁠ GERALD WILLIAMS, Say It Loud, 1969⁠ BARBARA JONES-HOGU, High Priestess, 1969 ⁠ NAPOLEON JONES-HENDERSON, African Solar, 1970⁠ JAE JARRELL, Going to NYC, 1994⁠ JEFF DONALDSON, Stone Singer, 1999⁠ WADSWORTH JARRELL, Black Family, 1968⁠ ⁠ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #blackhistory #africobra #geraldwilliams #sayitloud #barbarajoneshogu #highpriestess #napoleonjoneshenderson #africansolar #jaejarrell #goingtonyc #jeffdonaldson #stonesinger #wadsworthjarrell #blackfamily #nationtime #africanamerican #jeffreenhayes https://www.instagram.com/p/CadIo93JT4G/?utm_medium=tumblr

"There was no rioting in our work. A major facet of that age was the concept of Black pride—Black is Beautiful—and a positive outlook on life."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Image courtesy of the Wilks Family Collection⁠⁠ Photo @johnlusis courtesy @kavigupta_⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #geraldwilliams #sayitloud #blackhistory #africobra https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1tB6wJtiO/?igshid=1ff7gvfw453y2

“Soul of a Nation” opens today @brooklynmuseum and we couldn’t be prouder to have co-published the exhibition catalog! Read Holland Cotter’s review in today’s “It will be a happy day when racial harmony rules in this land. But that day’s not coming any time soon. Who could have guessed in the 1960s, when civil rights became law, that a new century would bring white supremacy tiki torching out of the closet and turn the idea that black lives matter, so beyond obvious, into a desperate battle cry? Actually, African-Americans could have seen such things coming. No citizens know the national narrative, and its implacable racism, better than they do. And no artists have responded to that history-that-won’t-go-away more powerfully than black artists. More than 60 of them appear in the traveling show called “Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power” now at the Brooklyn Museum, in a display filling two floors of special exhibition space with work that functioned, in its time, as seismic detector, political persuader and defensive weapon.” #davidhammons #geraldwilliams #emmaamos #williamtwilliams #emorydouglas #reginaldgammon #barkleylhendricks #soulofanation #blackpower #blackart #blacklivesmatter #civilrights #blackpanther https://www.instagram.com/p/BntZEHnnuX_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sp69i0txbv4u
