African digital art sampler
We like to check in regularly and see what’s happening at www.africandigitalart.com, which recently featured lovely digital portraits of Wangari Maathai, founder of the Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Greenbelt Movement, who passed away September 25. A huge loss to the international environmental community, and to her native Kenya.
As for the artwork, take five minutes to scroll through, especially to the Nigerian Independence Day (Oct. 1) photos at the bottom. It’s political-nostaligic-confident-fashion photography, a pretty good representation of the country itself.
The online snack table of a real-world party. World Salon aims to build a global community of people rooted in their particular places, and fascinated with everywhere else.
The mission is to increase knowledge and understanding of the world's people's and places, face-to-face, one story at a time. Peace and Sustainability are the big goals, chit-chat, dinners, artsy-fartsiness are the small steps.
