What happened to AFROPUNK?
This event was supposed to be a free event that showcased artists, dominantly of color, in a black neighborhood for free. If it came to any cost, it was because you paid for VIP access, which is fair. But this year, they’re charging to just get in. Not only is it damn near $44 for a regular ticket, but they’re apparently selling vendor space to advertisers.
That fucking vendor space went to up and coming entrepreneurs who wanted some attention. To add insult to injury, these fucking high profile websites are coming and stealing our culture for profit right in front of our eyes. But who in blue hell is in charge of how afropunk is ran?
I thought they were ran by brothers and sisters but they clearly sold out. The event never was about high profile marquee names, which it has become and represents a problem on a smaller scale that constantly happens to summer festivals. On a larger scale it’s a reminder we can’t have anything for ourselves and we can’t have anything for the youth before it gets sold off to the highest bidder for cash.
Shit is sad.
😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
that’s the sting of capitalism
afropunk you got anything to say?
